Poutama mosaic style with Whetu

This piece features the Poutama pattern, symbolizing the journey of spiritual ascension and the pursuit of knowledge.

​For this specific design, the Poutama is intricately woven using a striking palette of red, grey, and white, creating a modern yet deeply traditional aesthetic. Floating above the steps are colorful whetu (stars), each one a tribute to the children, the guiding lights and future of the whānau.

​Red (Whero): Associated with the earth and the lifeblood of the people, it represents strength, vitality, and the physical realm.

​White (Mā): Represents purity, light, and the spiritual world, often used in Poutama patterns to symbolize the clarity found at the peaks of growth and learning.

​Grey: In this specific piece, the grey provides a modern balance, acting as a bridge between the physical and spiritual elements, while highlighting the intricate texture of the latticework.

These are handcrafted panels, so each piece may vary slightly, reflecting the unique artistry of the creator. Every detail is meticulously woven, and these minor variations are a hallmark of an authentic, custom-made product from Patuwairua & Co.
