Poutama Earrings
Inspired by traditional Māori design, and combined with contemporary style.
Poutama refers to the stepped pattern of tukutuku panels and woven mats - symbolising genealogies and also the various levels of learning and intellectual achievement. Some say they represent the steps which Tāne-o-te-wānanga ascended to the topmost realm in his quest for superior knowledge and religion.
