SCULPTURE

Among the most characteristic of the work of Maoritanga include carvings kauri pine, which have a deep spiritual significance. But if you want to take a good memory you are advised not despise Maori tissues and, of course, their elaborate tattoos.

The nephrite (a green stone) Maori found an ideal material for adzes, small clubs, his first utensils for working the land and pendants. The best known are coulombs heitiki, which was conferred great value, the length ranged from 6 to 20 inches and consisted of a human figure with head bowed over his shoulder, like a fetus, which hung from a cord.
