Heru (hair comb) carved from real beef bone. Large (18cm long) 4 prong comb. Tiki design - also available in Manaia 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.
Weights; Heru 55 grams. Kete 16 grams.
