Wahaika in MADINZ Presentation Box
Today, weaponry is presented as gifts to honour people who have demonstrated courage or achievement in a particular field. Māori people present them at occasions such as graduations to symbolically acknowledge the facing of the challenges in life.
The Wahaika translated means "The Mouth of the Fish". The first opponent dispatched in battle was often termed "the first fish". The Wahaika was reserved for Warriors of high status.
A replica of the famed Māori short striking club. Historically used in battle, the Wahaika has contemporary significance as a symbol of courage and determination.
Size approximately 37.5cm
With all the Māori Artefacts we include an information card explaining the historical significance of the gift.
