In Maori culture, a wheku is a decorative carving that represents a carved face or figure. It is often used as a decorative element on the gable of a meeting house, or wharenui, and is considered a symbol of the ancestors and the history of the Maori people. The wheku is typically carved from wood and is highly stylized, with exaggerated features and intricate details. It is an important part of Maori art and culture and is considered a sacred and powerful symbol.
