A koru??
Eh? What?
I´m supposed to know what this is?
(Hehe) ;-)
Well....I looked it up on Wikipedia.org - wich says:
"The koru is the Māori name given to the new unfurling fern frond and symbolizes new life, growth, strength and peace. It is an integral symbol in Māori carving and tattoos"....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koru

-Nice entry :-D
