Bone Earrings - Brown Feather

Size of the bone part only: 19mm x 63mm

This bone carving earring is based of the huia feather.  These Maori earrings have been handcrafted from beef bone, with brown staining.  Each piece is individually carved so slight variations can occur. 

The huia feather was revered as a symbol of nobility, leadership, and hierarchy. The white-tipped tail feathers were worn as head adornments to signify chiefs and people of great mana (authority and power).
