Rei Puta Kahurangi Flower Jade - Greenstone Tooth Pendant
$273.00
Often considered descendants of Tangaroa, whales whakapapa to Māori and are highly regarded tūpuna (ancestors) symbolising abundance and strength. Rei puta symbolise this connection, with the carver taking the form of the rei niho parāoa (sperm whale tooth) and infusing it with their own inspiration.
This Rei Puta was carved by Jeremy Walsh from Kahurangi Flower Jade pounamu sourced from Marsden of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 55mm by 35mm. This taonga has a koru engraved, semi-gloss finish and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
