Bone Carving #65 Heru (Ruamano)
Briefly, this taonga was inspired by the migration story of the Takitimu waka and it's navigation from Hawaiki to Aoteara.
This manaia heru is of ngati kahungunu style and depicts a bird-like head and the tinana (body) that is half human and half fish - with a whale or tohorā tail.
It measures 24cm x 3.8cm, is double-sided, and is worn in the hair. It comes with a black adjustable waxed cord to be worn as a necklace also (cord is easily removable).
