Small Kākano Ipu - Seed Pod/Pot (Mouku/Hen &Chicken Fern)
Can be used to store tea or other treasures.
The decoration for this pot is inspired by the native nz hen & chicken fern.
The young, undeveloped fronts of the Mouku/Hen & Chicken fern were eaten by Māori and were a favourite kinaki (relish) for potatoes. Small baskets of eel or kokopu were covered with pūwhā or mouku for cooking, with the leaves eaten as greens. (Source: Maori Plantuse Database, Landcare Research NZ)
