“In pounamu carving the koru is said to represent new beginnings, growth and regeneration. We know it symbolises the fern frond seen in New Zealand’s native bush because of a Maori proverb that speaks of rebirth and growth: Ka hinga atu he tete-kura – ka hara-mai he tete-kura (As one fern frond dies – one is born to take its place).” – source
I love the way new fern fronds uncurl like this.
