This 40mm x 40mm Triple Koru pendant is hand-carved from natural cattle bone and represents the eternal bond of whānau (family) and the three baskets of knowledge. It serves as a wearable symbol of growth, unity, and ancestral wisdom, suspended on an adjustable black cord.
This Hei Koru features three interlocking spirals carved from ethically sourced cattle bone, a material chosen for its strength and ability to develop a unique patina over time. In Maori tradition, the Koru mimics the unfurling silver fern frond, signaling new life. By intertwining three distinct paths, this piece highlights the concept of Whakapapa (genealogy) and the interconnectedness of past, present, and future. It also references Te Kete o te Wānanga—the three baskets of knowledge brought down from the heavens—making it a taonga (treasure) of both protection and profound understanding.
