Porowhita Disc Pounamu Sculpture 8cm

Cut from deep green pounamu and finished to a signature polish, this porowhita shows the depth of colour the stone is known for, dark greens shifting under light, with pale mineral veins held at the edges where the polished face meets natural stone. The disc hangs from a sterling silver fitting and stands on a slab of raw pounamu, split face up.

Carved by Lee-Roy Mullings (Ngāti Kahungunu).

The porowhita is the circle, a form with no beginning and no end. It speaks to continuity, the cycle of life, and the bonds that hold people together. This piece is a display work, made to sit where it can be seen. It arrives with a card on its meaning.
