This is a one of a kind piece by virtue of the amazing jade from which it is carved, so it will be permanently removed from our gallery when sold.

The Huia is a sacred but now extinct songbird of New Zealand.
The feathers of the Huia were sacred objects so were kept in special wooden boxes called Wakahuia. Waka meaning a sacred vessel and Hui to indicate the very special contents.
