MANAIA THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT 21ST & CELEBRATION KEY With Stand

The 21st Key Tradition

21 is the age that a person in New Zealand is classed as an adult, and the giving of the 21st key is a strong New Zealand tradition to symbolize opening the door of maturity and becoming an adult. Alternatively, the giving of a key is a symbol of the limitless doors they can open in their life.

This artwork is an contemporary representation of the typical form of Te Manaia.
