Maori decorated the patu by carving into the wood, bone or stone. Types of patu include: patu pounamu or mere: made from pounamu (greenstone). patu onewa: made of stone. These resemble the mere in outline but thicker, because the stone used was more easily broken than the resilient pounamu. patu paraoa: made of whale bone [2]
