Heru (hair comb) carved from real beef bone. Large (18cm long) 4 prong comb. Koru resembles the unfurling frond of the native New Zealand fern and depicts new beginnings, life and hope.
Also available in Tiki, Whale tail, Manaia, Pikorua twist and Pikorua triple twist.
Heru are used to hold and decorate hair in a bun (top knot). Traditionally the head was considered the most sacred part of the body. Because hair was believed to retain a person's spiritual essence the Heru served as a way to honour and protect that spiritual connection.
Available with or without woven kete (bag). Kete makes a very nice gift presentation and safe storage/transport.
Weights; Heru 55 grams. Kete 16 grams.
