Framed Korowai on Modern Lady – Pāua Colours | Māori-Inspired Wall Art & New Zealand Gift

Framed Korowai on Modern Lady - Pāua colours

Celebrate the beauty of Māori-inspired artistry with this Framed Korowai on Modern Lady in Pāua colours. This distinctive decorative artwork features a stylised illustration of a wahine (woman) wearing a miniature korowai, crafted with treated feathers in rich blue, turquoise and purple tones.

The feathered korowai is finished with a decorative band featuring a pātiki (flounder-inspired diamond) pattern in black, white and turquoise. Inspired by Māori design and weaving traditions, the geometric pattern adds detail and visual interest to the piece. A small pāua shell earring brings an extra touch of Aotearoa New Zealand’s natural beauty. Pāua shell off-cuts are used for the earring, so each piece can vary in shape, size and colour, making every artwork a little different.

The artwork also features a poutama-inspired stepped design, traditionally associated with learning, knowledge and levels of achievement. Together, these details create a thoughtful piece that celebrates feminine beauty, artistic expression and the rich design heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Set inside a wooden shadow box frame with a clean, modern finish, this artwork can be hung on a wall or displayed using its built-in stand. It makes a distinctive New Zealand souvenir, a meaningful gift for someone special, or a decorative addition to a home or office.
