Rauponga is a whakairo (customary carving) inspired by the fronds of our distinctive native ponga tree fern. This pattern is favoured by the weavers of Ngāti Maniapoto, because of prolific growth of ponga ferns throughout their region.

Rauponga; ngā tipu māori.
Ka whai te whakairo i ngā rau o te Rauponga. He tino tēnei āhua ki ngā kairaranga o Ngāti Maniapoto, i tāna kaha tipu ki taua rohe rā.
