Hand-Carved Wooden Maori Patu with Paua Shell 42cm

$176.27 USD

A substantial 42cm x 16cm x 5cm hand-carved wooden Patu featuring a traditional Wheku face with iridescent Paua shell eyes. This ceremonial replica represents Maori prestige (Mana) and authority, serving as a powerful display piece of Pacific heritage.

The Patu is a classic Maori symbol of leadership and strength. Historically used as a close-combat weapon, it has evolved into a respected ceremonial treasure (Taonga). This hand-carved wooden version features a Wheku—a carved face representing an ancestral guardian—set with shimmering Paua shell eyes that catch the light. Intricate engravings cover the surface, telling a story of lineage and protection. While this piece is a replica designed for display, it carries the spirit of the warrior and the "World of Light," making it a perfect focal point for a home or office to honor New Zealand’s rich history.
