Description
This set touches on some of the incredibly rich and diverse characters included in Māori myth & legend!
PLEASE NOTE: These images are my personal & artistic interpretation of some amazing characters—they are by no means the only way in which they can be interpreted. Different iwi have different stories for many of these personalities. In some stories they are male, in others female and often with different powers or qualities. Have I missed someone that’s important to the area you live in? Are they portrayed differently in your local pūrākau/ancient legend? Please let me know! I’m happy to add in additional images to meet your needs.
This set contains 90 hand drawn images (45 colour and 45 blackline) as high quality (300 dpi) PNGs with transparent backgrounds.
