Heru Parāoa - Whale Bone Comb

Sands Carving Studio

Traditional Māori Heru are combs worn as functional hair ornaments by both men and women. Often the decorations on pre-European heru were a symbol of mana and prestige.

This Heru was carved by Finau Katoa from Pilot Whale jaw bone. It measures 170mm by 70mm and has a semi- gloss finish.
