Product Description:

Elevate your space with the natural beauty and cultural richness of this handwoven decorative poi, created from tīkumu (mountain daisy), a native alpine plant treasured in traditional Māori raranga (weaving).

Each poi is meticulously made using customary Māori techniques, honouring mātauranga tuku iho (ancestral knowledge) and the taiao (natural environment). These are not performance poi, but taonga tuku iho (heirloom-style treasures) ideal for display, gifting, or ceremonial use.

🪶 Perfect for:

• Cultural décor for home or office
• Gifts for pōwhiri, graduation, or special kaupapa
• Kaupapa Māori spaces and wellness clinics
• Wānanga or creative display taonga

🌿 Product Features:

• Handmade from tīkumu (Celmisia spp.) – a rare and sacred natural fibre
• Intricately braided handles
• Each piece is uniquely organic and full of mauri (life force)
• Made with respect for tikanga (cultural protocol)

💰 Price: $80 NZD

Each piece reflects the time, skill and tikanga involved in gathering and weaving tīkumu—a resource that requires careful harvesting and seasonal understanding.

🧵 Commissions Welcome:

🌱 Disclaimer:

These poi are made from natural fibres and may vary in colour, size, and form. This uniqueness is part of their wairua (spirit) and reflects the living nature of rāranga and te taiao. Decorative use only.
