Hei Matau Manaia Tangiwai Pounamu Large Pendant

Intricately carved from Tangiwai Pounamu, this pendant combines the Hei Matau and Manaia designs, symbolising protection, strength, and a deep connection to the sea. The Hei Matau represents resilience, safe passage, and good fortune, while the Manaia unites the realms of sky, earth, and sea through the head of a bird, the body of a human, and the tail of a fish. Together, they offer the wearer a sense of determination, peace, and well-being. With red sealed eye, it symbolises spiritual vision and guardianship, the Manaia offers strength and guidance across life’s journey. It comes with an adjustable black handwoven cord and is presented in a premium eco-friendly box with meaning and care cards, a taonga to be treasured for generations.
