Mouth of Pele In Maori Red With Green Stone Jade Eyes
in 1 collection
Mouth of Pele was designed and manufactured by Gecko. It is a tall tiki head with large slanted, closed eyes, furrowed brows and a large open mouth which is a separate opening for dry ice. This is a custom version with dark cherrywood finish, green stone (jade) glazed eyes, and intricate Maori carved details. The traditional reddish Maori stain was achieved with red ochre. The mythological origin of this important colour is as follows. There was much blood shed during the separation of Earth and Heaven, the primaeval parents. The blood of Heaven is sometimes seen as a red glow in the sky. The Maori call it papakura and they look to it for signs and omens. The blood of Earth and Heaven, flowed together and became deposits of red clay. This is the origin of kokowai, the sacred red of the Maori. It is utilised in a number of traditional ceremonies. When applied in conjunction with a karakia (prayer) it becomes tapu. The kokowai was burned in a fire, ground into a fine powder and mixed with shark oil to make paint. This paint was then used as a stain.
