The wakahuia is a vessel of prestige and trust, traditionally used to store treasured items such as personal adornments. It embodies deep respect between giver and receiver, symbolising unity, connection, and the sharing of mana. Each wakahuia carries both artistry and story - a tangible link between generations. To hold it is to honour the value of memory and the beauty found in the act of preservation.
