A fabulous Koru sculpture handcrafted from a wonderful piece of Kahotea Pounamu set on to a fabulous palm size water worn Kawakawa Pounamu.
Koru- The Maori word for bright or loop. It refers to the shoots of the silver fern. The circular movement to the inner core refers to "going back to the beginnings". The unfurling frond itself is symbolic for new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
