Ipu Mana Wāhine – Moko Kauae Plant Pot

A Taonga for Holding Growth, Strength and Hakapapa

Bring beauty, meaning, and mana into your everyday spaces with our Mana Wāhine Pot.

“Re-indigenising Our Spaces, One Kupu at a Time”

Featuring an original design by Mumma G, created in Aotearoa, this pot honours Mana Wāhine, hakapapa, and the enduring presence of wāhine Māori.

With a design inspired by moko kauae, this taonga is more than a vessel for a plant. It is a quiet reminder of the wāhine who came before us, the wāhine who walk beside us, and the wāhine who continue to shape the generations ahead.

Whether placed in your whare, gifted to someone special, or used to hold a plant that grows alongside you, this pot brings together Te Reo Māori, mahi toi, and the presence of te taiao in one meaningful piece.

Some taonga are created to hold more than a plant.

The Mana Wāhine Pot was designed with deep respect and intention. It acknowledges the mana, identity, and hakapapa carried by wāhine Māori, while honouring the significance and beauty of moko kauae.

This design does not attempt to tell the stories of wāhine Māori for them. Instead, it stands as a humble acknowledgement of their depth, resilience, and connection across generations.

At Ānuku, we believe our homes can hold reminders of who we are, where we come from, and the people who have shaped us. This pot was created as one of those reminders — an everyday taonga that brings presence, honour, and connection into the spaces we live in.

Why You’ll Love It

Beautiful, meaningful, and created with care, the Mana Wāhine Pot brings together art, hakapapa, and everyday function in one special taonga.

Designed in Aotearoa. Created to honour Mana Wāhine with humility, beauty, and respect.
