About the Item
Carved Tekoteko Sculpture – A Testament to Maori Tradition
This stunning Tekoteko sculpture is more than just an art piece—it’s a powerful representation of Maori culture and ancestry.

The paua shell eyes add a striking, spiritual contrast to the wooden figure, making the Tekoteko a captivating focal point in any space. Each carved line and curve carries deep cultural significance, reflecting the ancestral wisdom that these figures traditionally represent.
Bringing this museum-quality sculpture into your home means embracing a piece of Maori heritage, where every detail tells a story of strength, connection, and identity.
