Description

Expertly hand-carved from native hardwood, our Taiaha embodies the strength, discipline, and wisdom of the warrior. More than a weapon, the Taiaha is a symbol of rangatiratanga (leadership) and mātauranga (knowledge), traditionally wielded by those trained in the art of mau rākau (Māori weaponry). With its finely adorned upoko (head) and rau (blade), it represents both diplomacy and combat—reminding us that true power lies not only in physical skill but in the wisdom to know when to use it.

Dimensions:

1.5m – 1.7m [L] (size may vary slightly due to hand-carving)
