Wero Tāroi (c.1810–1880),[1] also known as Wero Mahikore and Karu, was a notable New Zealand Māori carver of the Ngāti Tarāwhai iwi.
He was born at Lake Ōkataina, in the Rotorua district in New Zealand, and active from about 1860.
[2][3] Wero's works include Te Puawai o Te Arawa (the pātaka or storehouse at Auckland Museum), and storehouses such as Tiki-o-Tamamutu at Taupō, Te Puawai-o-Te-Arawa at Maketū, and Tokopikowhakahau at Tāpapa.
