Manaia Kawakawa - Greenstone Guardian Pendant
$962.00
Manaia, a powerful personal guardian in Māori tradition, embodies mana – the concept of power, authority, and prestige. Believed to possess ethereal presence and energy, the manaia protects its wearer and maintains spiritual balance. In Māori cosmology, the manaia is often depicted as a kaitiaki (protector) and messenger between the earthly and spiritual worlds.
This manaia was carved by Yuki Tanaka from kawakawa pounamu sourced from Arahura of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 102mm by 49mm, has a semi-gloss finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
