This hand-carved bone pendant features a design inspired by Tā Moko, the traditional Māori art of tattoo. More than just decoration, Tā Moko represents a person’s identity, ancestry, achievements, and social standing—a deeply sacred expression of whakapapa (lineage).
The flowing, engraved patterns on this pendant honour those traditions, symbolising personal strength, cultural pride, and a connection to whānau (family) and wairua (spirit). Carved from natural bone, each piece is unique, carrying both visual power and spiritual meaning.
Please note: As each pendant is handmade using natural materials, variations in design and tone are part of its distinctive charm.
