The Māori term 'patu' denotes striking or subduing. Historically and traditionally, these wooden Patu served as symbols of chiefly status. Passed down through generations, their cultural significance is widely recognised within Māori communities.

Used by rangatira (chief/leader) during speeches or ceremonies on the marae, they convey authority and respect, and represent strength and unity. Proudly displayed in homes or offices, they honour New Zealand's rich history and enduring traditions, continuing to be utilised for speeches on the marae today.
