The Emergence of Tane Mahuta - Blank Note Card

Description

"The Emergence of Tane Mahuta" blank note card is a digital print made from my original photo collage. The note card is made from beautifully feather edged ivory paper. It measures 5.5" x 8.5" and comes with a matching feather edged envelope.

Tane Mahuta - literally means "Lord of the Forest" and is the name used for the Maori deity that rules over the forest, and who is responsible for creating man. Tane Mahuta is also the name bestowed upon the largest rainforest tree in the world located in New Zealand - it is believed this tree is over 2,000 years old.

In the traditional Maori view, all creatures and natural resources are descendents of Tane Mahuta and Tangaroa, gods born of Ranginui and Papatuanuku, the Sky Father and Earth Mother. Tane Mahuta created forests and birds, and humans are descended from him, while the children of Tangaroa are the fish and other sea creatures..

The note card will be placed in a plastic sleave and carefully shipped via first class USPS.
