Te Whakamana is a full-sized mere carved from rich green Kawakawa Pounamu from the Hokitika area. Measuring 36cm long and 12cm wide, it is finished with hand-twisted muka cord made from harakeke. Mere are among the most recognised forms of Māori taonga, symbolising leadership, authority, prestige, and strength. This piece honours that tradition while marking an important milestone in my own journey as a carver.
