Tukutuku panels

Image result for Roimata turuturu pattern
Walt: I know the significance off Tukutuku panels and why
Maaori made them because it is an traditional art form.
They were decorative panels for the traditional wall
construction used inside meeting houses. 


Most tukutuku panels are made out of dried stalks of
plants such as toetoe. Roimata means Tears. 

In this pattern there are arrows dropping down which
are falling raindrops off big and little. The top layer is
the big ones and the bottom layer is the little ones.
