Porohita Onewa- Basalt Disc Pendant

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 copper tiki coin inlaid into Mount karioi onewa was carved by Jeremy Walsh. It measures 78mm in diameter, engraved with unaunahi, has a semi-gloss finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
