Image description

The koruru is an architectural feature of traditional Mäori meeting houses (wharenui or whare tüpuna). It is a carved head placed at the join of two barge boards that form a gable apex. The koruru is sometimes accompanied by another standing figure placed directly above it, a figure called a tekoteko – usually a representation of a warrior ancestor associated with the bloodlines of the house.
