Sacred Kingfisher

Linocut art print - open edition.

Original handmade print of our stunning sacred Kingfisher in his natural environment.

The New Zealand kingfisher, also known as the sacred kingfisher, is the only species of kingfisher native to New Zealand.

It is called “sacred” for it was said to be a holy bird for Polynesians, who believed it to have control over the waves. Likewise, the local subspecies of collared kingfisher and other kingfishers in the southwestern Pacific were ascribed venerable power over the ocean.

The symbols in the sky represent the birds flying in the sky, along with the clouds and the lines in the sky represent the wind movement.
In the water the symbols represent rope for the boats and seeds on the land & patterns of the waves.
