Paua Bowl in MADINZ Presentation Box
PAUA
PAUA is a shellfish indigenous to the South Pacific waters surrounding New Zealand. As a unique type of abalone, paua has become a “taonga” (treasure) to the New Zealand people and the shells are often used for decorative effect. The Maori people have had a long tradition of gathering paua for its nutritional and aesthetic qualities. The shell has an iridescent blue-green interior and is widely used for jewellery and ornaments. It is found in rock crevices at extreme low tide.
