Roimata Inanga with Sterling Silver Cap - Greenstone Teardrop Pendant
$309.00
The roimata embodies our emotions in times of joy, sadness, celebration and tribulation. Traditionally made from pounamu adzes or similar tools that were too worn down to be functional, they were gifted as a way of remembering the history and tūpuna (ancestors). They remind us of our humanity, and our ability to overcome adversity even when the path is spiritually difficult.
This roimata was carved by Jeremy Walsh from inanga pounamu sourced from Nelson of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa, set with sterling silver capped by John Mayo. It measures 52mm by 17mm, has a glossy finish and is hung on a sterling silver chain.
