 These Cufflinks are from the 1960 pictorial postage stamp issue and depict the stunning Red Kowhai. The cufflink findings are made of welded steel, they are solid of the highest quality. The cufflinks are made with an acid free image set under hand shaped glass. They come in either round or square and are presented presented in an elegant cufflink box.
Kowhai-ngutu-kaka - 2d Issued: 11 July 1960 The name kowhai-ngutu-kaka shows that the Maori recognised the close relationship between this plant and the yellow kowhai, at the same time likening its flowers to the beak of a native parrot, the kaka. A soft woody shrub rarely exceeding 1.8 metres, the kaka beak 'Clianthus puniceus', as it is commonly known, has curved and pointed red flowers about 10 cm long. I have a range of images available. Stamps issued before 1936 may be reproduced, however those after are subject to copywrite.  Postmarks and variations in stamp issue colours add to the unique nature of the historic and one off piece.
