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.

Topknot tradition.

Māori men traditionally kept long hair that was oiled and sometimes braided and dressed upon their heads in elaborate topknots.

Size 160mm.

Prong 70mm.

We photograph each piece but a slight colour variation may occur.
