The hammerhead shark often appears in Maori culture where it symbolizes strength and tenacity, which are essential traits in warfare. There´s a specific Maori pattern, called Mangopare, used to represent the hammerhead shark, which was used in tattoos, on rafters and houses, as a symbol of protection and power.

The concepts that you guys put together are incredible. Are this hammerhead and the related designs all traditional Maori tribal art??? This is really phenomenal.
