Bone carvings by the New Zealand Maori are some of the most beautiful wearable art works available today and come in a wide variety of styles from very traditional pieces to the more contemporary or modern styles.

The Koru is also often associated with nurturing so it is frequently used as a symbol of love within whanau (family).
