Tui Double Feather Bone Heru
Tui Double Feather Bone Heru.
Unique to New Zealand, the Tui bird is a boisterous and colourful character, feeding on nectar and singing complicated songs throughout forested New Zealand.
It is recognizable for the white feathery tuft under its beak, and its iridescent blue-black feathers.
This unique Tui Tail Feather Heru (ornamental comb) is handmade from bone. It has four teeth.

Size 160mm.
Prong 70mm.
We photograph each piece but a slight colour variation may occur.
