Tania Tupu Huia Feather earrings - black
$76
This stunning pair of earrings are by Nelson based jeweller Tania Tupu.
The extinct Huia bird was sadly silenced before our generation could hear their song. This design symbolises how wāhine bring balance to the world while in positions of leadership.
The Poutama Porourangi tukutuku design on the huia feather represents the search for knowledge and was a pattern introduced by Tania Tupu's ancestor Sir Apirana Ngata - and is shaped like the tukutuku panels that adorn the walls of her wharenui
Handcrafted 3-dimensional resin on sterling silver hooks.
This item comes packaged in a round Tania Tupu decorative gift box with a pine lid.
This pair of earrings are handmade in New Zealand
