ONE OF A KIND!

This colourful lining has been used by Maori to decorate carved statues, interior walls of meeting houses and many other precious items. It is therefore regarded as  a sacred gift from the ocean.

The pendant comes with with a braided cord plus a woven presentation pouch and a detailed description of the meaning of the carving.
