Rimu Round Jewellery Box with Maori Mangopare Tattoo Carving

This jewellery or trinket box is crafted from a solid piece of recycled native Rimu timber, one of New Zealand's most loved native timbers, because of its honey colour and beautiful grain.

The Rimu keepsake box is adorned with a contemporary engraved design of the "Mangopare" (Hammerhead Shark), inspired by the painted rafter patterns (kowhaiwhai) seen in meeting houses throughout Aotearoa.

In Maori culture, the Mangopare stands as a symbol of strength, resilience, and determination, embodying the spirit of leadership and guardianship.

Proudly made in Aotearoa, NZ, and shipped worldwide.

A lovely box to present with a piece of jewellery inside, or as a gift on its own. Beautiful souvenir of New Zealand.
