Mere Totoweka - Greenstone Club Pendants
£249.00
Only ever made from pounamu, the mere is a symmetrical teardrop in form. Simple in form but a deadly weapon in the hands of an expert. Mere were highly-prized taonga and heirlooms handed down from one generation to the next. To possess a mere signified the status and mana (authority) of those who would wield it. Historically, mere were often used in ceremonies or on occasion as a gift to settle grievances.
This mere was carved by Jeremy Walsh from totoweka pounamu sourced from Big Bay of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 105mm by 37mm, has a glossy finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
