This exceptional example has been masterfully handcarved from one solid piece of native timber.

Two inlaid discs of paua shell feature to opposing sides above the faces, while a band of diamonds and spirals adorns the base of the handle. This intricately carved piece culminates in a pointed end with a rounded terminal handle forming the top. Appealing ridges to the handle and pointed tip indicate the timber has been hand hewn. This exceptional Maori weaving peg is presented in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, breaks or repairs.

There are light signs of age which add an appealing character to this authentically vintage example. The timber remains well-nourished and has developed a lovely warm red-tinged mellow patina that only time can bring. The inlaid paua shells remain secure. This exquisite vintage piece has been well cared for and presents spectacularly. This piece has a magnificent feel and is an absolute delight to hold.

This superb Maori weaving peg measures approx 455mms in length. Maori turuturu were used to pin the garment in place as it was being woven, their often ornate decoration illustrates a ritual significance. Garment weaving was conducted by women and was a highly formalised process learned over many years. The left-hand peg was always left plain, whilst the right hand was carved and dedicated to the lunar goddess, Hine-te-iwaiwa. Pieces such as this rarely come onto the market, so don't miss this opportunity to acquire an exceptional Maori artefact.

Please take the time to view the equally impressive Maori God Stick we also currently have listed. Both of these magnificent pieces were acquired from the same private estate.
