This bone pendant is a stunning piece and would make the perfect gift.
The eyes of the Manaia and Tiki are made from Pāua shell. These pendants are difficult to make as they have many cutouts, but the result is well worth it. As this is a delicate piece of taonga, care should be taken when handling the pendant such as not throwing it onto a dresser or bench top etc.
Each piece is individually carved so slight variations can occur.
The Manaia is a symbol of protection and acts as a guardian against evil.
The Tiki represents the human form and one's ancestors. Traditionally passed from parent to child or used for protection and good luck.
