This Carved Wahaika on the Base would make a lovely Souvenir of New Zealand, as a Presentation Piece, Trophy or as an alternative to the traditional 21st Key.
The Wahaika measures approx 34.5cm Long
The Base measures 45cm Long by 7.5cm Deep by 3.8cm High (Angled, not including Height of the Holder)
Waha-ika means the mouth of the fish. Many Waha-ika have a small figure carved on the side. This figure would be a guardian to the owner and would often be a venerated ancestor.
