Phillippa Watson (Ngāti Kahungunu) lives in Napier and has created this beautiful woven wall hanging.

Papakirango Rua refers to an intricate Māori weaving pattern (whakairo) used in traditional raranga (flax weaving) and tukutuku panels that carries a profound symbolic meaning of spiritual protection, warding off bad omens, and navigating phases of change or separation.

This piece is a deep navy blue and natural colour, and measures 110cm wide by 50cm high.
