Toi Kupu Poutama Hei Taringa Earrings are inspired by the stepped poutama pattern, signifying the growth of humans, striving ever upwards.
In meeting houses, tukutuku panels are usually mirror imaged so that the steps climb upwards from both sides to reach the summit at the centre.
The tiki shape represents the human form and one’s ancestors. It links the past, present and future.
The hei tiki also acknowledges the Atua (Godess) of Fertility.
