Kowhaiwhai - New Zealand Ferns & Weaving

New Zealand designed print with native ferns layered over Kowhaiwhai (traditional Māori scroll designs).

Kōwhaiwhai patterns are a unique Māori art form in Aotearoa New Zealand. Traditionally painted on rafters of whare and waka paddles, increasingly they are used in many other contemporary contexts, from sports clothing to phone covers.

Alsophila tricolor, synonym Cyathea dealbata, commonly known as the silver fern or silver tree-fern, or as ponga or punga, is a species of medium-sized tree fern, endemic to New Zealand. The fern is usually recognisable by the silver-white colour of the under-surface of mature fronds. It is a symbol commonly associated with the country both overseas and by New Zealanders themselves. Wikipedia
