Framed Taniko Weaving - Blue
Size (mm): 330 L x 380 W Hand Made in New Zealand.
The Maori community holds Taniko as a revered art form, passed down through generations. Incorporating Taniko patterns into the creation of Korowai and other cultural artifacts ensures that their ancestral stories and artistic brilliance will endure, allowing future generations to connect with their roots. While Taniko has a deep historical significance, it has also found a place in modern fashion and art. Designers and artisans draw inspiration from Taniko patterns, incorporating them into clothing, accessories, and home decor. This cultural fusion serves to not only celebrate Maori traditions, but also allows the world to appreciate the timeless beauty and significance of Taniko. The banding's meaning revolves around the Pātikitiki pattern, with its triangles representing people. The chosen colors hold significance to all Māori and the design depicts the connection to family, ancestors, and the spiritual realm.
