Summary[edit]

Description
English: The unfurling tip of a young Cyathea dealbata frond. Commonly called the ponga or silver fern, Cyathea dealbata has become a New Zealand icon, and the spiral shape of its unfurling fronds inspired the koru symbol used in traditional Māori art.

Photographer's title: New Zealand: Maori Culture 006

Photographer's description: An unfolding branch of the New Zealand Silver Fern is the source for a basic element and motif of Maori design. When you really look at Maori design, you can begin to see this.
