New Zealand is full of wonderfully creative Maori carvings. These ones are located in Paihia, next to the Te Teriti O Waitangi house.
They are also known as Pou or Pouwhenua - Pou meaning "pillar" and Whenua meaning "land", painted red and black they certainly stand out.

beautiful work
They are eye catching. Quite outside my cultural experience, of course.
Amazing but quite scary in a way
culture is very interesting. First glance of your shot told me Japan, next said Native americans but you say Maori :) We are quite similar even if far apart :)
Thanks!
Wow, the carving details are amazing. The names sound similar to US Native American names.
Amazing to see, such beautiful carving details.
I see the clouds. I'm sure the sun must shine there but I've been several times and I can remember rain.
They certainly do Amy, tres dramatic. The details are amazing, the Maori style is so distinctive ✨
Very beautiful!
So interesting seeing art from around the world! (I am in Canada)
