A Koruru is an architectural feature of wharenui or whare tupuna (customary Maori meeting houses). It is a carved head placed at the join of two barge boards that form a gable apex. The koruru is sometimes accompanied by another carved figure directly above it called a tekoteko – usually a representation of a warrior ancestor associated with the bloodlines of the tribe.
