New Zealand made, metal-cast Tui medallion with paua shell laminate .
Tui are unique (endemic) to New Zealand and belong to the honey-eater family. They feed mainly on nectar from flowers of native plants, and are important pollinators of many of our native trees. Tui are considered to be very intelligent and can clearly imitate human speech (much like parrots). they are known by their fluffy white chins, and their noisy, unusual calls, different for each individual.
The medallions can be used as napkin rings, worn as pendants, or simply hung on the Christmas tree.
