Wood Carvings by Guest Artists

These carvings are a mix of very traditional and contemporary styles by guest artists.
Here you will find some stunning examples of the master carvers skill in wood.

Many of these carvings are special pieces created by guest artists while some are very special works which have been kept by the artists in their own private collections until now. Some of these special carvings have already been given names by the artists who created them, often telling a powerful story.

All carvings are supplied complete with a traditional style cord & bag.
Most cords are hand made from black waxed braid with a loop and bone toggle fitted. A woven flax presentation case and information on the meaning of the design is also included.
Cords & Packing Detail

Fast airmail shipping worldwide is now just US$6.95 for up to 5 pendants.

Purerehua

The purerehua or rangorango is a musical instrument often known as a "Bullroarer"
Custom tells that the player's spirit travels up the cord to create the sound, which then travels on the wind to take the words and dreams of the player to the listeners of the world.
In some parts of the Aoteroa they are seen as rain makers while in others they are made to sing a farewell to the departed.
The artist has decorated these purerehua with a traditional Kowhaiwhai pattern
The blade is carved from Totora and the stick from Manuka

These are real working purerehua, not replicas.
