On this 21st Key, the Wheku is feature prominently in front of an empty photo frame, reserved for the birthday individual.  21 is the age that a person in New Zealand is classed as an adult, and the giving of the 21st key is a strong New Zealand tradition to symbolise opening the door of maturity and becoming an adult. Alternatively, the giving of a key is a symbol of the limitless doors they can open in their life.

The Wheku’s form is depicted from the head of an ancestor and is considered to be a sacred part of the body. The Wheku is generally found at the gable of the wharenui (maori meeting house) and is regarded as the repository of knowledge and wisdom. Representing a person of great mana and deep understanding of the lessons that can be learnt from the past as well as the present.
