    EXPLORE / TŪHURA


    Theme: Although it is small it is a treasure

    Whakatauki: "Ahakoa he iti he pounamu"
    Metaphorical: Although it is small, it is greenstone (precious)
    Literal: This whakatauki (proverb) speaks to a humble way of delivering a small gift. Greenstone (jade) is an extremely useful commodity which is considered very precious, so although you may not be presenting greenstone, the word pounamu stands as a metaphor for something precious or a treasure from the heart.
