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.

 

With all the Māori Artefacts we include an information card explaining the historical significance of the gift.

 

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.
