Mountain Jade New Zealand’s jade sculptures are a true work of art. Each piece is handcrafted from jade that has been carefully selected from countries around the world, including New Zealand.The exceptional color of the stone is enhanced by the skilled hands of our jade artists as they shape their designs. From contemporary carvings to traditional New Zealand designs, our sculptures represent the pinnacle of nature’s mysterious and implacable forces.
James Pirika
The artist behind this creationJames Pirika is an emerging New Zealand pounamu carver who has learned his craft in our Rotorua studio working alongside leading artists such as Tamaora Walker and John Sheehan Jnr. His designs are inspired by his culture and heritage, and he's known for carving bold, powerful pieces. James is constantly humbled to learn a significant part of his culture and heritage through carving jade. Maori people didn’t have a written language, they would instead utilise carvings to remind themselves of their past, learning and passing their stories and heritage onto future generations. James is most passionate when it comes to the traditional meanings behind the designs and the stone, strongly believing that it brings people together globally. It is found around the world and so many cultures have seen it as an important element in their culture and identity.
