Embrace spiritual protection, divine wisdom, and inner guidance with this masterfully hand-carved Greenstone Nephrite Jade Manaia Guardian Pendant.
In traditional Māori culture, the Manaia is a revered spiritual guardian depicted with the head of a bird, the body of a man, and the tail of a fish. Known as a sacred messenger between the earthly world and the spirit realm, the Manaia acts as a protective shield against negative energy while bringing balance, strength, and safe passage to its wearer.
Expertly carved from authentic top-grade nephrite jade, this pendant measures 42mm x 25mm. The piece features detailed openwork carving and is finely hand-polished to showcase the rich olive-green tones, subtle natural depth, and smooth texture of real jade. It comes ready to wear on a durable black braided cord with an adjustable fit.
Presented ready for meaningful gifting, each pendant includes a printed story card explaining the rich cultural heritage and meaning of the Manaia, safely housed inside a signature luxury velvet gift box. Key Features & Specifications
