The carvings in the group below are all based on three dimensional figures from all over the world, with the Pacific represented prominently. Most of the originals are carved from wood, some of stone and a few are pottery. Their ages vary from quite recent to many thousand of years old. Their uses are mostly unknown, but most seemed to have some kind of religious function.

The carvings in the group below are designs of my own, not based on Maori styles

This last group are all Maori based, with the tooth form as a base. The bone is cow bone again. The Maori made some pendants in tooth form, they used whale teeth split into slivers, and later, as pigs got introduced, pig tusks as well.

My work is continuously changing. This means that new items will be added periodically, and others might be removed. If you like my work, please visit my site at a later date to see new carvings on offer
