This is a one of a kind piece by virtue of the amazing jade from which it is carved,  so it will be permanently removed from our gallery when sold.   

The Huia is a sacred but now extinct songbird of New Zealand.  
The feathers of the Huia were sacred objects so were kept in special wooden boxes called Wakahuia.  Waka meaning a sacred vessel and Hui to indicate the very special contents.
