Notched Niho Tooth Kawakawa Greenstone Large Pendant, Tan Binding

The Niho (tooth) design symbolises the guardianship and strength of whales and sharks in Māori culture. Carved from Kawakawa greenstone, showcasing beautiful dark green & black tones, with luminous green flecks. Representing protection and a deep connection to the moana (ocean).

The carved notches reflect traditional Māori carving, historically symbolising whakapapa (genealogy) and the passing of wisdom between generations. Today, these notches may also represent whānau members or loved ones, adding personal meaning to each pendant.

Paired with a handwoven adjustable tan cord, this pendant is thoughtfully presented in an eco-friendly gift box, complete with meaning and care cards—a meaningful taonga to cherish or share.
