Good Journey! That’s a beautiful jade carving! The piece is shaped like a Koru, which is a spiral symbol representing new life, growth, strength, and peace in Māori culture.

The Koru is a common motif in Māori art and tattooing (ta moko).

The Māori are the indigenous people of New Zealand, and their culture is rich with traditions, language, and art. New Zealand inspired me during my Journey!
