Pou Pou in MADINZ Presentation Box

A pou pou is a wall panel located underneath the veranda of Māori wharenui (meeting house). It is generally built to represent the spiritual connection between the tribe and their ancestors and thus each pou pou is carved with emblems of the tohunga whakairo’s (carver's) particular lineage. The pou pou may also be decorated with representations of the tribe's ancestral history, legends and migration stories to New Zealand. As such each wharenui, and by extension the pou pou, are thus treated with the utmost respect, as if it were an ancestor.
 
Size 54 x 20 x 14cm
 
With all the Māori Artefacts we include an information card explaining the historical significance of the gift.
 
We do not keep stock of the Pou Pou as very seldom we get an order for this due to its size. This is normally ordered for very special occasions. Please email us and we’ll reply to you with delivery date.
 
MADINZ is the only company in New Zealand that has exquisite high-quality presentation boxes. The box lifts the gift into a different realm as well protects it in transit overseas. Each box is specially designed to complement the gift inside and the box is also a gift in itself.
 
We pack all pieces with utmost care, so they can be sent by courier or hand carried anywhere in the world.
