Porohita Raukaraka Sculpture - Greenstone Sculpture

Sands Carving Studio

 

Porohita (circle) symbolise the completion of cycles, a concept reflected in the celestial dance of Tama-nui-te-rā and Hina-te-marama, the sun and the moon. These circular movements across the sky serve as a powerful reminder of the cyclical nature of life. Giving a porohita as a gift expresses a deep desire to have that person at the center of one's world.

This porohita was carved by Alex Sands from a rare banded raukaraka pounamu sourced from Marsden of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 145mm in diameter and mounted on whalebone and kauri base.
