Decorate your home with this unique piece of 3D wall art created in Wellington, New Zealand by laser-cut experts Abstract Design. The design is based on the iconic 1898 Pictorials 'Huia’ stamp.
Huia (Heteralocha acutirostris) became extinct in 1907 as a result of hunting, clearing of their forest habitat and over-zealous specimen collecting for museums. The huia was noted for its green-black plumage, its rounded orange wattles and white-tipped tail. The female had a long, slender curving bill which made it easily distinguishable from the male, which had a much shorter but more powerful beak. Almost always seen in pairs, they normally bounded along the ground or from branch to branch, flying only when necessary. Huia tail feathers were greatly prized by Māori as symbols of rank and used as adornment by chiefs.
