Huia Feather Pendant
by Tania Tupu
This unique 3-dimensional resin huia feather pendant is handcrafted by Tania Tupu. The Poutama Porourangi tukutuku design on the huia feather represents the search for knowledge and was a pattern introduced by Tania's ancestor Sir Apirana Ngata representing their famous ancestor Porourangi of Ngati Porou. The extinct huia bird was a sacred bird who's feathers were highly prized and were worn by high ranking Māori chiefs symbolizing leadership and mana.
