    Fern frond

    The koru is a scroll shape and is linked to the New Zealand fern plant. The shoot of the fern has a curled-over tip which unfurls and becomes a fern leaf. To the Maori, the koru represents the unfolding of new life or renewal. The spiral shape is a dominate part of Maori carving and tattoo.
