The Story
The Pou Whenua is a boundary marker or marker of ownership. These were ornately carved posts placed strategically in the ground to mark your iwi boundaries or places of special significance. With their wide base and peaked tip, these earrings were carved to resemble the pou whenua, the marker of boundaries. With the pounamu coming from deep within the earth they felt to us like Papatūānuku’s pou whenua.
