This beautiful handmade Paua Blue Maori Korowai (Maori feather cloak) has a Royal Blue/Turquoise/Black/White Patiki Taniko at the top. The patiki design represents the flounder, and signifies abundance and hospitality.
The Korowai is made by a lovely Maori lady of Ngati Porou descent.
Please note that the correct Maori name for it is kahu huruhuru, but many people, including Maori, still call it a korowai.
Feathers used are white at the top, and then a mix of turquoise, green and royal blue to give that paua look. The inside of the korowai is lined with black fabric. The cloak is sewn on a sewing machine, making it affordable.
Dimensions (approx):
Width 45' (114.5cm)
Length 43 3/4' (111cm)
Perfect to wear or give for a wedding, special function, 21st, graduation, or to present as a corporate gift, or to keep as a unique and beautiful piece of Maori art.
NB: We try to keep most korowai designs in stock, but if we are out of stock when you order, allow 2-3 weeks for it to be made.
To maintain the mana of this beautiful piece of Maori art, please wear the korowai around the shoulders and not under the armpit.
