Medium Kahurangi Pounamu Whales Tail Pendant
This medium Whale Tail pendant is meticulously carved from Kahurangi greenstone, displaying a vibrant green hue with swirling patterns of lighter and darker tones. 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.
In Māori culture, the Whale Tail symbolises strength, protection, and good fortune, reflecting the profound connection between people and the ocean. Finished with a matte surface, the pendant is paired with an adjustable black handwoven cord, and is presented in an eco-friendly box complete with a meaning card and care instructions.
