Contemporary Maori Art Sculpture - Wheku

In Maori Art, a Wheku is a carved representation of a face, most commonly found at the apex of Meeting Houses (Wharenui), with the building forming the body of the Wheku. The Wheku often depicts a significant ancestor for whom the Wharenui is named — it is a symbol of ancestral heritage and guidance, as well as spiritual strength and guardianship.

Made in Rotorua, New Zealand from locally sourced timber and native Paua shell, this modern interpretation of a Wheku makes for a powerful addition to the home; a symbolic figure of protection and guidance.
