Whalebone holds deep cultural significance, particularly for Indigenous and coastal communities. It symbolises a connection to the ocean and the natural world.

For Māori and other Pacific Island cultures, whalebone (parāoa) is revered for its strength, rarity, and spiritual power, and was used to craft tools, weapons, and treasured adornments. Significant pieces carry ancestral stories, embodying respect for the whale’s sacrifice and the sustainable relationship between humans and nature.

Passed down through generations, whalebone carvings serve as powerful taonga (treasures) that preserve cultural identity, heritage, and a bond to the sea.

Delivery with Express Courier is included in the price.
