Nichola Tupuarangi Ngutu Kaka Earrings - Black
Nichola Tupuarangi Ngutu Kaka Earrings - Black
This collection is based on the star Tupuarangi (male), one of the stars in the Matariki Constellation. Tupu?rangi is similar to Tupu?nuku (the star of all cultivated and uncultivated food products) in terms of its connection to food and growth; however, in this instance he is associated with food that comes from the sky. Tupuarangi is linked to nga manu (birds). For this collection we drew inspiration from the manu, the kerera, the kaka and the kahu. We have also used the overall theme of Tupuarangi as a hunter of birds. This earring is our Ngutu Kaka design based on the beak of the k?k? bird.
