NZ Greenstone Freeform Touchstone Sculpture (BP862) Kawakawa Pounamu
Stunning freeform sculpture carved from Kawakawa Pounamu and set on a wooden stand. Carved by Allan Moreton. It is designed for the stone to be able to be removed from the stand.
The sacred stone of Aotearoa. Pounamu of this beautiful land encompasses nephrite jade, serpentine, and tangiwai (bowenite). To the Māori of New Zealand, Pounamu (greenstone) is more than just a stone, it is a taonga (treasure) woven into the spiritual and cultural fabric of their ancestors. Revered as a gift from the gods, it carries the mana (prestige) of the land and the strength of the rivers.
When worn close to the skin it absorbs your wairua (spirit); over time its lustre deepens along with the bond between wearer and stone. Pounamu is a gift from the heart and as such should be worn or displayed with respect and pride.
Measurements including stand:
313 mm height (225 mm length of stone)
140 mm width (115 mm width)
88 mm depth (57 mm depth)
This will be the exact piece you will receive in the photos, there may be a slight degree of colour variation based on different computer or mobile phone screen resolutions that you are viewing from.
