Wall Hanging Pouākai (Haast's Eagle) Skull Sculpture
The Haast's eagle, known as Pouākai or Te Hōkioi in Māori culture, held deep spiritual significance as a guardian and a symbol of divine connection. Revered for its strength and hunting prowess, it was seen as a spiritual protector embodying the Maori principles of mana (spiritual power) and tapu (sacredness).
Just like in nature each skull is hand sculpted and unique created from sketches and studies of now extinct, endangered or beloved iconic New Zealand Bird life. The pieces have been designed to hang on the wall or can sit pretty on a shelf or ledge. The skulls are not created to scale for obvious reasons.
