A Kōrupe is a carved wooden panel traditionally placed above the doorway of a Māori meeting house (wharenui) or other important structures.
Richly adorned with intricate patterns such as pākati (dog-tooth notches) and haehae (parallel grooves), these carvings serve both practical and cultural purposes.
They act as spiritual guardians, warding off harmful influences, while also telling stories, honouring ancestors, and depicting mythological beings through symbolic forms like spirals, human figures, and other distinctive motifs.
