Carved by Master Carver, Albert Te Pou (Tuhoe)
The patu represents strength, skill, and courage - a symbol of mastery guided by wisdom. Traditionally used in battle, it now embodies the inner balance between determination and restraint. Its form reflects precision and honour, reminding us that leadership is measured not by might alone, but by integrity and purpose. The patu is a taonga of mana - steadfast, disciplined, and enduring.
