AOTEAROA

(Ay-o-tee-uh-ro-uh)

The Land of the Long White Cloud

(AKA NEW-ZEALAND)



It is estimated that Pacific Island peoples, calling themselves the Maori,made their way to Aotearoa sometime between the years of 950-1150 AD. To the Maori, as is true among all coastal and island peoples, the sea was the key to survival and the driving force behind tribal myths and legends. The Maori, also like other peoples, created beautiful works of art which enabled them to bring their intangible concepts of the unknown or super-natural world into the everyday, tangible world. The pieces in our New Zealand Collection are either a traditional or stylized Aotearoa Maori design.
