Various Gods

Working getting large resolution pieces, but I love these:

baskets

The blue one I think is Tangaroa, god of the sea. Red is Whiro, god of evil. The green one is Tane, god of the forest, and the multi colored one I’m not sure about. The corners probably represent gods, Tane being green, the moon being Tane’s daughter, goddess of the underworld, the orange one is the sun (forget his name, but he’s on this site), and I’m not sure about the top left corner. Maybe Whiro, or Tāwhirimātea, god of weather. The center is presumably the world.
