Maori Carvings (TekoTeko)

Great New Zealand Maori Carvings

These Maori Carvings are of the Teko Teko, which was any three dimensional form of the full figure of a Maori Warrior. It was often used at the apex of a building where it was seen to embody the spirit of the building. They were traditionally carved in a defiant stance with paua shell eyes and a outstretched tongue , holding a Patu or Taiaha (traditional Maori weapons), to ward off any intruders. Below we have a great selection of wooden Teko Tekos (two of which come with a real greenstone Patu) and on the more Teko Tekos page we also have some cheaper versions made from a resin material (it's very dense and heavy and they are moulded rather than carved) . You will notice the size of the Teko Tekos height, and weight is just below the price of each Teko Teko. Great New Zealand Souvenirs & Gifts.
