Tu-mata-uenga
Tu-mata-uenga, is one of the many sons of Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatuanuku (Earth Mother) and played a vital role in the separation of his parents. The separation of Ranginui and Papatuanuku resulted in the emergence of the Primordial children into the world of light or Te Ao Marama.
Tu-mata-uenga became known as the Atua (god) of War and represents the fierce nature of mankind.
Below are two views of this Atua -the top diamond shape is Ranginui, the bottom diamond is Papatuanuku. Tu-mata-uenga stretches from the top of the figure to the bottom.
The next series of figures will be Te Kore
