Te Wahi Large Pikorua (Twist) with Koru 55mm
Te Wahi Pounamu
A beautiful carving created from a stunning bright green Pounamu combining the bond of a pikorua with the koru of new beginnings - a stunning weighty piece.
Single and Double Twists - Pikorua, resemble two intertwined pikopiko ferns. representing the paths of life and love or friendship, and eternity. Double twists refer to the bond between peoples or culture rather than individuals - traditionally given as an offering of friendship between two different tribes.
Koru - The Māori word for bright or loop. It refers to the new shoots of the fern frond.
The circular movement to the inner core refers to "going back to the beginnings".
The unfurling frond itself is symbolic of new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
