This exquisite Maori heru is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. Each comb is meticulously hand-carved from durable cattle bone, resulting in a unique and culturally significant hair ornament. The top of this heru features an intricately carved silver fern, a powerful and recognizable symbol in Maori culture, often representing new life, growth, strength, and resilience. The Maori heru, traditionally worn as a functional and ornamental piece, elevates any hairstyle with a touch of authentic artistry.
While traditionally used by Maori men to secure long hair in topknots, today, the beauty and cultural significance of the heru are appreciated by all. Crafted with care and reflecting the artistic heritage of New Zealand, this bone heru with its striking silver fern design is a unique addition to any collection.
