Meaning of the Koropepe

The Koropepe represents the longfin eel (tuna), one of the most revered creatures in Māori tradition. Associated with navigation, protection over water, and spiritual guidance, the koropepe was considered a guardian spirit for those on journeys. Its coiled, flowing form also speaks to endurance and the ability to move through life's currents with strength and grace — making it a deeply personal and meaningful talisman.
