Tekoteko on base
This beautiful, hand-crafted statuette makes a wonderful gift and looks great in any home or office. Have a name or a business engraved on the base and turn it into a memorable, unique trophy or 21st gift.
Tekoteko figures are freestanding and in the past stood on top of carved meeting houses. Most of these figures had a stance that represented a position in a haka, or in a fighting stance with a weapon. The purpose of the teko teko was to overlook the forecourt in front of a carved house and challenge any visitors to the tribe. If the visitors were deemed to be friendly, teko teko would then offer protection.
Stands 30cm tall.
Base measures 14cm x 11.5cm x 2.8cm
