NZ Greenstone XLarge Taiaha Head Pendant (BX294) Flower Jade Pounamu
Beautifully coloured Marsden Flower Jade Pounamu. This piece has been intricately carved into the head of a Taiaha, a fearsome weapon.
Measurements:
130 mm length
43 mm width
12 mm depth
The Taiaha is an iconic weapon of skilled Māori warriors. It consists of three sections; The upoko (the head), the arero (the protruding tongue), and the tinana (the body). It is a formidable weapon which aerodynamic features and strong body make any skilled wielder an intimidating opponent in battle.
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.
Comes with an adjustable cord and a jute drawstring bag.
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.
