The Taiaha is the best known of the Maori weapons. It is often mistaken for a spear, but in reality it was never made for throwing. It varied in length from 1.2 – 1.8 metres and was typically crafted from hardwood and sometimes whalebone.

This Taiaha is crafted from MDF board, teddy bear fur and screen printed to add detail (size – 440mm in length, perfect for the tamariki)
