Paua eyes, protruding tongue, full belly, traditional Maori markings. Magnificent centrepiece for home office, educational facility. Fantastic corporate gift.

Tekoteko is a carved human form (either the whole body or head), either freestanding or attached to the gable of a whare (house). Tekoteko are often carved in a defiant stance with a protruding tongue, and holding a mere or taiaha, to ward off intruders. Tekoteko often have eyes made of paua shells.
