E Rere E Te Manu - The Beloved Of My Heart

Fly, O bird, carry this leaf of love to the beloved of my heart. May the stars and the moon shine down on the one I love.

~ E rere e te manu ki te mau i te rau o te aroha ki te tau o taku ate, tiaho iho ra ngā whetū te marama ki runga i te tau o taku ate.

A fantail carries a leaf of love beneath a crescent moon - golden beams shine all around, stars twinkle in the sky. Fantails are often seen as messengers, able to carry thoughts, love, or blessings across distance, even from the spirit world. A blessing, a thought for someone you love but may be apart from. 

This print is inspired by the waiata 'E Rere e te Manu' by Hirini Melbourne

Two versions are available:

Black & White  - clean minimal, graphic.

Hand-painted Colour - piwakawaka in warm golden earth tones

Perfect for a bedroom, living space, or as a heartfelt gift sending love across distance.
