UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL, FLUID AND UNIQUE THREE DIMENSIONAL MINIATURE SCULPTURAL HAND CARVED DEER ANTLER CORONET MAORI KOTUKU WHITE HERON PENDANT IN BEAUTIFULLY CARVED BOX designed, hand carved and perfectly finished by New Zealand Maori Master Carver TJ Rae. Terry is known for his exquisite deer antler carvings all of them complete with matching carved case made out of the coronet (or button) of the deer antler.  

This is Terry's finest work - a stunning sculptural artwork carved from smoky grained deer antler - a beautifully expressive and naturalistic three dimensional almost animated graceful heron - the case is decorated with wings and flowers -all exquisitely carved.  The Kotuku is a Maori Taonga (treasure) - a symbol of rarity, purity and inspiration, a messenger between this world and the next.  You will never see such an exquisitely carved little bird...

It's suspended through a silver jump ring on a 22" hand braided black waxed cord with deer antler toggle.  It measures 2.5" by 1.6" with a depth of 7/8". The case measures 3.2" by 2.6".  All Terry's carvings come with authenticity card and care instructions.

Deer antler is a regenerating medium (stags shed their antlers annually) and perfectly suited to fine Maori carving - it has a cool alabaster feel and often has smoky grain giving it depth and texture.
