Traditional Maukakī

Traditional Maukakī 4 | Medina Koni 

A delicate and earthy Maukakī that showcases the rich colour of traditional bark dye and exceptional texture.

This Maukakī (neck adornment) is a beautifully crafted piece, featuring fine muka (flax fibre) hand-dyed using raurekau bark to achieve its warm, natural, golden-brown hue.

The structured woven body is elevated with intricate looped detail, creating a distinctive, plush texture across the yoke.

Below, a long, fine 3-ply braided fringe flows freely, contrasting the tight structure above.

This piece beautifully honours ancestral techniques (whatu weaving) while remaining a lightweight, elegant accessory. It secures with an adjustable braided wax thread neck tie.

If you love subtle elegance and celebrating pure craftsmanship, this is a must-have.
