This Large Maori Taiaha is slightly shorter than the full size taiaha, at 145cm (57"). The taiaha is a beautifully carved example of a replica Maori taiaha, and it is carved from sustainably harvested Tulip wood.

To learn more about the taiaha, click here >>> ENGRAVING: If you would like to give this as a birthday present, we can engrave the person's name and birthdate on the taiaha, into the wood. Alternatively, the engraved name can also be paua inlaid. Please note that the taiaha is not returnable once engraved. Our engraver does a beautiful job though. Please enter the details in the Engraving box provided when you select the engraved option. DISPLAY STANDS: You can also purchase the taiaha with a stand, as pictured. There are 2 stands available. a) Contrasting dark stained pine stand.b) Matching stand made from the same timber as the taiaha. SHIPPING: If shipping overseas, this taiaha cannot ship by Airmail, due to its length. Please select the Express Courier option. Proudly made in New Zealand, and shipped worldwide.

For New Zealand Maori women, the moko kauae, or traditional female chin tattoo, is considered a physical manifestation of their true identity. It is believed every Maori woman wears a moko on the inside, close to their heart; when they are ready, the tattoo artist simply brings it out to the surface. The Maori are indigenous people that originated in New Zealand. They have a form of body art, known as moko but more commonly referred to as Maori tattooing. The art form was brought to the Maori from Polynesia and is considered highly sacred. Since the Maori people consider the head to be the most sacred part of the body, the most popular kind of Maori tattoo was the facial tattoo, which was composed of curved shapes and spiral like patterns. Often this tattoo covered the whole face and was a symbol of rank, social status, power and prestige. For Maori, tattooing was (and for some, still is) a rite of passage, which meant it was highly revered and ritualised. The tattooing would begin usually during adolescence. The great thing about Maori tattoos is that to this day, no two tattoos are alike. Maori tattoos are one of a kind. They are always highly intricate and detailed and display the craftsmanship and artistry of not only the artist but of the Maori culture.
You'd think that there are enough scary animals in Australia that monstrous legends wouldn't be necessary. Apparently the deadly creatures that terrorize people on a regular basis aren't scary enough. The continent also includes New Zealand, and I slid a

This full size Maori Taiaha is made even more stunning with the addition of a pounamu greenstone tongue. A taiaha is made up of three important sections. The greenstone end is called the upoko (head) and comprises the carved head with paua shell eyes, and the protruding (in this case greenstone) tongue, the arero. The middle section, the tinana, is where the taiaha is held. The other end, the blade, is called the rau. To learn more about the Taiaha, click here >>> Just like the traditional Taiaha, this replica Taiaha is carved the same on both sides. Feathers decorate the shaft just below the head ( dogs hair was also used in the old days). The middle section of the Taiaha, the shaft, is usually slightly oval, as in this example. The lower section is flattened. On this Taiaha, the lower section is carved on both sides. This is a full-size Taiaha, measuring approximately 5 feet (152cm) in length. To save our native timbers, New Zealand pinus radiata is used to make this taiaha. SHIPPING: Shipping outside of New Zealand is by Express Courier only (DHL), due to the length of the taiaha. Please only select the Express Courier option at Checkout, as this is the only way this long item can be shipped. Delivery time is normally about 4 working days. If you want to display it on a stand, click here for the taiaha stand . If you are giving this as a gift, say for a 21st, there is the option of having the recipient's name engraved into the wood at the end of the blade. Choose the engraved option and include the name in the box provided. There is also the option of having the engraved name inlaid with paua shell. There is a limit of 18 characters for paua engraving, and they must be in CAPITALS. Please note that engraved items cannot be returned, except in the unlikely event of us getting the engraving wrong. Allow 3-4 days for engraving. Proudly made in New Zealand, and shipped worldwide.

Hola! a continuacion les dejo las imagenes que yo use en mi pesebre y ademas otros disenos extras para que escojan el que mas les gusta, la unica imagen que no esta es la que use para las escaleras y es que se me olvido escanearlo, pero en cambio les estoy dejando otro que creo que esta incluso mas acorde. para imprimir solo den click derecho sobre la imagen y guarden la imagen a su computador y ya desde ahi ya pueden dar nuevamente click derecho e imprimir. Un tip antes de empezar: Recuerden que es un pesebre pequeno, por ende las puertas son a escala, las imagenes que les estoy dejando son grandes pero a la hora de imprimir pueden modificar el tamano a su gusto y tambien a su conveniencia, solo tengan en cuenta que la direccion de las lineas en la "madera" una vez ya pegadas en las puertas deben mantenerse en forma vertical. esto lo digo para que no vayan a imprimirlo muy grande y cuando lo peguen no se logre apreciar los detalles de la madera. A continuacion un ejemplo de como pueden jugar con el tamano de una imagen antes de imprimir. Esta imagen es perfecta para usarla en escaleras. Estas son las imagenes que use para mi pesebre. Y estas son las imagenes extras, se los recomiendo !! Consejo!! denle si es posible unas 2 capas (esperando a que se segue la capa anterior) de papel mache , para evitar que con el frio el carton de debilite (mi nacimiento aun esta intacto pero hay una caja que los primeros dias de estar libre de las bajas temperaturas se siente un poquito flojo. Consejo!! a la hora de guandarlo para la siguiente navidad, ponganlo en un lugar que este libre de los tipicos golpes de almacenamiento o hagan como yo que compre un contedor con tapa del mismo tamano del nacimiento y asi ya lo meto con todo sus adornos y luces como si todo fuese una solapieza.
