The Native Huia bird was the most sacred of NZ birds to Māori, and regarded as Tapu - Sacred. The white-tipped tail feathers were worn as head adornments to signify chiefs and people of great mana. Huia birds also mated for life, and were most always found in pairs – symbolised by the two intertwining feathers.

Little Taonga

Ngāi Tahu, Rangitāne and Ngāti Kuia artist Cezanne Lyons is the creative mind behind Little Taonga. Taonga means treasure in Te Reo Māori, and it’s an apt description for the beautiful pieces that Cezanne designs. Cezanne is inspired by her culture and her love for Aotearoa, as well as the picturesque nature and wildlife surrounding her in Mangamaunu.
