what does koru symbolise
The koru (MÄori for loop) is a spiral shape based on the shape of a new unfurling silver fern frond and symbolizing new life, growth, strength and peace. It is an integral symbol in MÄori art, carving and tattoos.oru can also refer to bone carvings. Those generally take the shape of the uncurling fern frond. When bone is worn on the skin, it changes colour as oil is absorbed. MÄori took this to symbolise that the spirit of the person was inhabiting the pendant.
