Often considered descendants of Tangaroa, whales whakapapa to Māori and are highly regarded tūpuna (ancestors) symbolising abundance and strength. Rei puta symbolise this connection, with the carver taking the form of the rei parāoa (sperm whale tooth) and infusing it with their own inspiration.
This rei puta was carved by Alex Sands from walrus tusk. It measures 71mm by 43mm, has a glossy finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided polyester cord.
