The Ancient Stories Māori Carvings Tell
Like many first civilisations, the Māori people told their history and stories through the art of carving. The symbolisms of many of the main designs we carve today have their origins in these stories. This is where the culture has come from, and because pounamu and carving have such strong ties with Māori culture, we feel it’s imperative to also look into the stories, diving into the depth and inner meanings behind traditional Māori culture, helping us understand how these translate into the modern day and the designs and stones we carve.
