Carved by Master Carver, Albert Te Pou (Tuhoe)
The taiaha embodies strength, precision, and sacred authority. Traditionally wielded by warriors and leaders, it symbolises discipline, respect, and mastery of both body and mind. Each movement with the taiaha is an expression of balance - the unity of courage and restraint, of power guided by wisdom. It represents guardianship and readiness, carrying the spirit of protection and leadership forward through generations. The taiaha is not merely a weapon, but a living expression of mana and connection to ancestral knowledge.
