The Koru design is a powerful symbol to the people of Aotearoa.  Inspired by the New Zealand fern frond unfurling as it opens, it represents,  peace, tranquility, nurturing, spirituality, personal growth, positive change and awakening.  The koru also resembles a curling wave and can be representative of the sea.

This koru is carved from Tangiwai (greenstone)   and measures 65mm high x 40mm
