Manaia Whale Tail Hapopo Pounamu Medium Pendant

Carved from Hapopo Pounamu by Alex Sands Carving Studio, this Manaia pendant is a taonga of balance, protection, and deep cultural meaning. Depicting the traditional form of the Manaia, it 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. With striking red seal eyes, symbolising strength, prestige, and spiritual awareness, the Manaia offers guidance and guardianship 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.
