A sleek and sharp design was our ideal for this ataahua Patu. This kohatu kiriweti formed through a process of crystallisation of an original liquid molten rock solution (Magma). What an ataahua Taonga to treasure. (To add a personalized Wood Base with a three-word engraving, please add this to your cart by going to the Base section. Bases are sold separately)

In most cases our Patu/Mere are purchased to be gifted as birthday gifts, leaving/welcoming gifts, celebrations and corporate events.
