Hand-carved NZ Pounamu
Hassle-free returnsFinal photograph shows piece with New Zealand Pounamu Wearable Sculpture - Toki with Spiral Etching (Small). These two sculptures are carved from the same stone.
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.
