A Large 914mm x 1829mm Maori beach towel featuring bold, traditional Kōwhaiwhai rafter patterns. Crafted from a soft 52% cotton and 48% polyester blend with a high-absorbent terry reverse, this towel serves as a functional piece of art representing the rhythms of the natural world and ancestral Whakapapa.
This beach towel showcases the Kōwhaiwhai, a traditional Māori art form historically used to decorate the rafters of Wharenui (meeting houses). The flowing, repetitive Koru patterns are more than decorative; they visualize the continuity of life, mimicking the growth of the silver fern and the movement of the moana (sea).
