Our Ruru trinket box has been delicately hand thrown and carved.
The ruru or morepork owl is considered a kaitiaki(guardian) and a messenger between the human and spirit worlds.Due to its ability to see in the dark, the ruru is associated with insight and the pursuit of knowledge (mātauranga). Some believe ancestral spirits can take the form of a ruru, known as Hine-ruru (the "owl woman"), to protect and advise the living. The common, mournful "ruru" call is a sign of good news. The high-pitched, piercing "que" or "yelp" call is an important forewarning ofa bad event.
These little lidded vessels are sealed on the inside to protect your precious pieces or even to be used in the kitchen to hold the likes of salt. Please bear in mind each precious vessel is individually crafted so no two will be the same and may vary slightly from the image.
