Framed Korowai on Māori Warrior

Framed Korowai on Māori Warrior

Size (mm): 330 L x 380 W

Commanding in presence and rich in cultural symbolism, this handcrafted Māori Warrior Portrait is more than an artwork—it’s a celebration of identity, resilience, and tradition. Framed in a deep shadowbox to enhance its dimensionality, the piece features a stylized ink portrait of a Māori warrior adorned with ta moko (traditional facial tattoo), a topknot hairstyle, and a triangular earring—each detail echoing ancestral pride.

But what truly sets this piece apart is its tactile korowai: a cloak of real brown and orange feathers, layered with care to evoke the mana (prestige) of ceremonial dress. The feathers are complemented by a woven band in bold red, black, and white patterns, grounding the portrait in authentic Māori design.

Features:

• Mixed Media Masterpiece: Combines fine ink illustration with real feathers and woven textiles for a rich, multi-sensory experience.
• Cultural Significance: Depicts traditional ta moko and korowai, honouring Māori heritage and warrior spirit.
• Shadowbox Framing: Deep-set frame adds elegance and protects the three-dimensional elements.
• Ready to Display: Comes fully framed and ready to hang—perfect for home, office, or gallery.

Whether gifted to a loved one or added to your own collection, this portrait invites reflection, admiration, and connection to Aotearoa’s living culture.
