An exquisite stylised Maori Flute (Kōauau) decorated with a Tiki. This beautifully carved Puoro has 3 holes to create a unique sound. Handcrafted in Dunedin this incredible instrument would be a great addition for any collector.
Kōauau
are used in entertainment, but also for healing and grieving and to ease pain. The music of Kōauau always had words and an expert player could make these heard through the instrument.
Traditionally carved from Whale bone, however these days many bone carvings are made from cattle bone as it is an ethically abundant source.
