MURA O TE ORA
- a carved drop pendant made from superlative New Zealand pounamu. - FLAME OF LIFE. Hand carved for us by Andrew Doughty.
A of this piece in the artists words.
This simple Taonga is named Mura o te ora which means flame of life. It is made
from kahurangi pounamu.
This beautiful two-toned stone contains the form of a wick running up the stone.
This is being lit by the orange "spark" like grain. It only takes a small spark to
create a large fire. Therefore, this taonga is an honouring of humble beginnings.
Taonga such as this make a wonderful touch stone as their tactile surface is
comforting to rub. Over time, when used in this way, the oils transferred onto this
stone will gradually deepen the sheen, complexion, and lustre of this piece.
This is a medium sized piece, intricately carved and beautiful to wear.
a marvellous piece, carved from unique New Zealand pounamu. A small pendant that punches above its weight! It will certainly draw attention and comment.
