Traditional Maukakī

Traditional Maukakī 2 | Medina Koni 

This Maukakī (neck adornment) is a joyous piece crafted from fine muka (flax fibre).

 The vibrant yellow hue is achieved using traditional raurekau bark dye, which is beautifully contrasted with natural, undyed muka strands. The body of the piece is densely woven using the traditional whatu technique.

The long, flowing fringe is created using kārure tassels—twisted strands that give the Maukakī its unique texture and incredible movement.

This beautiful blend of traditional methods with an arresting colour palette is perfect for the collector who appreciates natural elegance.

It secures with a simple, adjustable braided wax thread neck tie.

Consider this exceptional piece to brighten your collection.
