JMDA804  Maori Bone Carvings
Applique Wall Hanging and Pillows etc
Top Hanging Total Size:122 x 64cm (48  x 25
inches).

Maori Bone Carvings   Pillow Maori Bone Carvings     Maori Bone Carvings
Above are variations you can make from the top wall hanging pattern pieces.
The Eternity Wall Hanging (left) is 33 x 64cm (25 x 13 inches).

These applique designs are based on New Zealand Maori Bone Carvings. Each of the above carvings are commonly worn as pendants. Like all Maori design they each tell a story. The meaning or beliefs of the designs can vary between each tribe. The grouping of 3 lines in the actual carving represents bring united: Whanau (family), Hapu (sub-tribe) and Iwi (tribe). In the designs shown the bone carving is appliqued onto a background. Then it is Buttonhole stitched around it's edge. The carved design and lettering is hand stitched. The borders can be quilted. All of this can be machine stitched if you wish.

Looking at the top wall hanging photo:
Energy: This is represented by a Mania that has a bird like head and fish tale. It some times has a human body. This carving represents the energy of ones spirituality. The carving design is made from many things combined just like a combination of things that make our spirituality.
Growth:
This is shown by the Koru(s) (fern frond) in the centre unfurling. Our lives are like the koru that slowly unfurls as we grow mentally, physically and spiritually; bringing tranquility and peace.
Strength: Represented by the traditional fish hook (Hei-Matau). The strength relating to the strength needed by Maui in the Maori legend who pulled  the North Island of New Zealand from the ocean. Also it is said to bring luck and safety to those traveling over water and traveling.
Eternity: This is represented by a twisted formation. Different amounts of twists in a design mean different things. With the amount of twists shown above it represents eternity. The eternity a couple will spend together. Also it can represent the many paths in life we take.
