The 'Lei-Niho Palaoa' is a form that I have admired for many years . . . beautiful in it's complex simplicity. What I would really like to know, however, is how the form originally came to be and how it evolved into its present form. Anybody with info on this?

This example in pounamu is probably the best executed example of the 'Lei-Niho Palaoa' I have ever seen. Thanks, Tama!
