Inspired by the first NZ flag adopted by the United Maori tribes in 1834
A Kauri oval brooch made from salvaged kauri weather boards, the brooch measure 5.5cm.
The first short-lived flag adopted by the United tribes of NZ and the the colonial real estate selling New Zealand Company. The Southern Cross stars had a wonderful irregularity in their design when they were first sewn on-board the ship the Tory.The flag is now held in Te papa's collection.Shame it was adopted as it is much more distinctive than our present flag.
