Teko Teko in MADINZ Presentation Box

Carvings pay respect to the past and every carved piece tells a story.

Traditional carvers versed in the oral traditions of the tribe, help to keep Maori culture alive by creating these intricate works.

The shape of the heads, position of the body, as well as the surface patterns work together to record and remember events.

Teko Teko were (and still are) carved by Maori to commemorate ancestors.
The Teko Teko is also the carved human-like figure on the gable of whare or figurehead of canoe.

It is to be found on almost every marae and usually portrays a long-departed paramount chief.
