Maori 21st Birthday Taiaha on Stand with Greenstone Tongue

This stunningly beautiful Maori 21st Birthday Taiaha on Stand is further enhanced with a pounamu greenstone tongue (arero). These days, Maori taiaha are a common gift to mark a 21st birthday, rather than a 21st key, and the greenstone makes it extra special.

It can also be engraved to mark the occasion.

If you want engraving, we recommend having the stand engraved with a gold plaque.

The timber used in the taiaha and matching stand is sustainably harvested Tulip Wood.  Tulip wood is a very strong hardwood but surprisingly light as well.

The greenstone is pounamu from the West Coast of the South Island of NZ.

The taiaha measures approximately 76cm (30") long, and the stand measures approximately 77cm x 9cm x 3cm (30 3/8" x 3 1/2" x 1 1/4").
