Rangi and papa

[Andrew Biggs]

Rangi and Papa were the first gods and they were perpetually joined together. Because of this the world was in darkness. Their children lived in the crevices of a dark universe. Tane, the greatest of their children and himself a God, forced his parents apart and in doing so, brought light into the world.

There was a time of great chaos during the separation and Rangi was eventually forced up and became the sky father and Papa stayed where she was and became the earth mother.

Cheers

Man, that is really cool Andrew. The gold in the eyes is just right. What is the handle inlay?

Great combination of traditional scroll and your "islander" motif. You're doing great Andrew.

Thanks for the kind comments and all the "likes"

I'm working on some new ideas to see how this transforms into other styles and cultural settings and designs.

Getting the time to do it is the hard part

Cheers
