{"id":7054625341495,"title":"Parāoa Pouwhenua - Whale Rib Bone Sculpture","handle":"wood-sculpture","description":"

Similar to Native American totem poles, pouwhenua convey narratives that hold great importance for the Māori community, symbolizing their enduring cultural legacy in New Zealand. These structures recognize the deep connection between the people (tāngata) and the land (whenua), serving as a reflection of the intricate relationship between ancestors, environment, and the esteemed status of the tangata whenua.

This parāoa pouwhenua was hand carved by Alex Sands measures 20 x 4.5 cm. It sits on a brass frame and a native timber base.
