Moko Kauae #1

Moko Kauae #1Original one off pieceDiameter: 16cmsMaterials: Stitched on a lightweight and durable embroidery hoop with linen fabric and cotton embroidery thread. Traditionally the moko kauae (female chin tattoo) was understood to be worn by women of rank. In contemporary Mori culture it is also believed that it can be considered a physical manifestation of a women's true identity. I love the thought of this. Being so in tune and connected with your inner being.
