This is a tekoteko I carved for the Dinner at the Domain 2012 event placed in Taumarunui. It was a trophey for the Marae cook-off competition.
I choose to depict Rongo because he is atua of peaceful pursuits and cultivated food, (mainly the kumara).
I choose the pattern 'taratara a kai' because this surface design was traditionally used on pataka (storage house) It represents in this context plentiful kai (food).
