Koru, The New Zealand Symbol

The Maori Koru design is scroll/ spiral shaped and is derived from the frond of the New Zealand fern plant.

'Koru' is the Maori word for the new unfurling fern frond. The pattern is used in many Maori and New Zealand art forms and symbolizes new life, regeneration, growth, strength and peace.

For many this design is the symbol for renewal, hope for the future. Because everything continues and is reborn. Or as the ancient Greeks said: 'Panta Rhei': everything flows. (5 years and 3228 days ago)

author says:

Not much difference in size. NZ is about the same size as Colorado.
