An ornate feather pendant from the legendary manu/bird Te Huia

Worn in the hair or around the neck, Huia manu were a most prized possession and was stored in ornate carved wooden boxes called wakahuia.

this from wikipedia:

"The huia is one of Aotearoa best-known extinct birds because of its bill shape and beauty, as well as its special place in Māori culture and oral tradition. The bird was regarded by Māori as tapu (sacred), and the wearing of its skin or feathers was reserved for people of high status."

This contemporary take on a traditional taonga, introduces a new form and balance that doesn't shy away from a modern shape and style whilst retaining our proud history

A TroubleMaker favourite this has been designed by one ultimate artist who graciously has allowed us to make and distribute them
