A stunningly beautiful piece of Canadian jade was reserved by Tamaora Walker for this hei matau design. Canadian nephrite is regarded as some of the finest in the world, and bold bright green tones truly glow through this piece. The notched edges which flow down the side of the design showcase the translucency and beauty of the stone, while representing whakapapa/genealogy (a line of descent from one's ancestors).
