Oamaru stone by Michael Green
12 February 2010
*the Taniwha* This sculpture represents Taniwha which are supernatural creatures, In some traditions, taniwha were terrifying creatures that captured people and ate them, Others were kaitiaki, or protectors of iwi (tribes) and hapu (sub-tribes). These ones were respected, and people who passed by their dens would say the appropriate karakia (Prayer) and leave an offering, often a green twig.
Handcarved from Oamaru stone by Myself.
