Pouwhenua carving
This pou is named He KÄhui Hekenga – A Collection of Journeys and is stylised as an upright waka. These epic migrations began in KÄwhia in the Waikato traversing the coastline to Marokopa and northern Taranaki in the early nineteenth century. The journey from snow capped Taranaki was arduous and thorns depict the difficult path southwards to the KÄpiti Coast and Wellington region. Along the way the people were strengthened through alliances and overcame challenging obstacles – represented by the classical pakati and haehae patterns central to this pou. When the ancestors crossed the waters of Raukawa / Cook Strait they shielded their eyes as a mark of caution and respect to NgÄ Whatu a Muturangi. The chevron patterns between the two eyes pay tribute to this giant octopus and remind us to be diligent upon these waters. It’s eight tentacles swirling around the middle of the pou are the confederation of Iwi in Te Tau Ihu. The front and top of this waka is the prow or Tau Ihu and symbolises the journey of WakatÅ« Incorporation and the aspirations of the people cutting through adversity. The taurapa / stern at the base is the old world, the foundation of our heritage. (5 years and 3357 days ago)
AWESOME!!
That's pretty funny - what's that for?
Wow, this is weird! Nice pic
It 'a huge skeleton of Pinocchio (the character of the tales with a very long nose because he was a liar). It stands in front of the main entrance of the Museum of the XXI Century Arts Maxxi in Rome.
how does pinnochio have a skeleton, wasn't he a puppet?
Yes, but the blue fairy turns him into child
However I think that the skeleton is seen more as a symbol rather than a real reference to person / character
ah you see, I knew I should have paid more attention to the fairy tales class at school
YEA!!! CONGRATS!!!!!
Congrats author :]
