This Maori Friendship or Love Trophy is a beautiful piece of New Zealand made art, and perfect to give as a gift to mark a special moment - graduation, birthday, achievements, milestone moments, etc.

The trophy is shaped in a Pikorua (double twist) design, with heaps of minute detailing, and beautiful contrasting New Zealand Paua shell. The back is plain wood.

The pikorua carries a spiritual meaning, one of undying love or friendship between two people or families or groups.  Give it as a trophy or a birthday gift, or as a fine example of New Zealand art.

The trophy is made from sustainably harvested gaboon, and MDF. It stands approximately 30cm (11 3/4") tall.

Choose between the trophy only, or a trophy with an engraved gold plaque, or an engraved black plaque. Up to 6 words, which you can enter in the engraving box provided when you select that option.

Please note that engraving takes 3-4 days, and engraved trophies cannot be returned.

Proudly made in New Zealand and shipped worldwide.

Shipped in a gift box.

Super fast delivery came wrapt with a note attached. Our girl was so happy with her present and we were happy to present it. Ataahua piece. Nga mihi.

The most easiest and simple no fuss purchase, fast shipping experience. The incredible and stunning peice we brought, had so much meaning and mana in one package that was felt by everyone. From the box and cushioning to the plaque and toanga itself was carefully and thoughtfully made, thank you! 😊

My my loves it! Thank you so much again 🥰

It had saden me when my boarder reported that he did not have a 21st key, nor was it celebrated. The day prior to his birthday few weeks ago. I presented the above gift and explained the meaning of what a 21st key is all about. A key that closes one door and opens another. Our journey in life so to speak. The look in his face lit up like a thousand candles. To see the tears and joy is priceless.

Absolutely beautiful my husband absolutely loved it!!

This item was the perfect gift for our "buddy team" for a rugby tournament.

I just love it, and my friends were asking me where I got it from. It was a wonderful gift for a retired colleague, and I decided to get it at the last minute to mark her milestone. I can’t believe it arrived so quickly, just in one day! I did overlook the engraving option, which was a big mistake on my part, but luckily I found a place that can engrave it for me. I will definitely order again and have recommended your shop to my friends who are looking to buy meaningful gifts.

Love it! My partner loved his surprise gift.

Excellent service, prompt response.

I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received from ShopNZ. From the very beginning the team went above and beyond to help me. This order was for a very significant day for my wife, and I was worried it would not arrive in time. The team personally contacted me and did everything they could to make sure the order was processed and delivered as quickly as possible. That level of customer service is very rare these days and it was genuinely appreciated. When the product arrived, it exceeded my expectations. The design was exactly as advertised, the engraving looked fantastic, and the overall quality was outstanding. It is sturdy, well made, and clearly built to last. It was everything I could have asked for and more. Thank you to Lesley and everyone at ShopNZ for your professionalism, communication, and willingness to go the extra mile. You helped make an important occasion even more special for my family. I would happily recommend ShopNZ to anyone and will definitely be purchasing from you again in the future.
