Hoe - Green | Todd Douglas

Seeking a unique, New Zealand-made product with a profound story?

Our ceramic Hoe, by acclaimed artist Todd Douglas, offers an unparalleled connection to Māori heritage.

A Hoe is a paddle, a fundamental tool that propelled waka, the canoes central to traditional Māori life for transport, sustenance, and protection.

The variations in Hoe design speak volumes about their specific function and the diverse regions from which they emerged.

Beyond their practical use, these paddles were versatile, sometimes serving as crucial implements in battle.

The most cherished Hoe were often considered taonga, revered treasures, distinguished by intricate carvings or vibrant paintwork, and occasionally bearing individual names.

Their surfaces were adorned with significant cultural designs, reflecting deep ancestral ties, natural beauty, or tribal identity.

This stunning ceramic rendition, meticulously crafted by Todd Douglas in Muriwai, captures the essence of these historical artifacts.
