Rimu Gourmet Platter with Paua Inlay - Large
Handcrafted from sustainably sourced native NZ Rimu wood this beautiful gourmet platter has a lovely fern design in the top corner that is inlaid with a Paua Shell Koru. The soft wave shape and gently buffed edges of the platter make it a delight to hold.
The koru design (Māori for ‘”loop or coil”‘), is a spiral shape inspired by the new unfurling silver fern frond. It is an integral symbol in Māori art & carving, where it symbolises new life, growth, harmony & abundance.
