Hand-carved NZ Pounamu
Hassle-free returnsThis New Zealand Jade Drop pendant has detailed matakupenga etching, which portrays the woven mesh of a fishnet and carries deep meanings related to community, interconnectedness, and the sustenance of life.
The artist behind this creationPerhaps it’s a trick of the light that lends translucence to Tamaora’s work. Or maybe this glow is evidence of an ancient Māori belief that pounamu lives and breathes. Tamaora regards pounamu with reverence and respect born of his Māori heritage, with traditional forms and symbolism deeply influencing his designs. Tamaora is from Ngāti Rangiwewehi, Ngāti Whakaue and Ngāti Rangitihi.
He has also exhibited overseas and studied the work of international carvers.
