= Larger More Complex Hooks with Traditional Carvings& Inlays on Next Page =
|
|
These are very special carvings are often spectacular unique or limited edition pieces in bone, pearl, wood or jade from guest artists and are not part of our normal range.
These often reclusive artists take their inspiration not only from Maori mythology but also from the many other cultures that now share our beautiful land. They also illustrate the deep respect these artists have for the natural and spiritual worlds.
As soon as each carving is sold it will be removed from our site permanently so check for updates often and be quick when you find one that you like, it may be your only chance!!
|
|
Each piece is crafted by hand so even if following the same design, no two
pieces will ever be exactly the same. Unique pieces in bone and pearl can also
be designed especially for you, telling your story through traditional styling
and some may also include exotic inlays of shell or precious stones.
|
Presentation Boxes (Wakahuia)
Available in several styles and sizes are the perfect finishing touch for these carvings
|
These can be found in our Wood & Wood Carvings section HERE
