14cm Māori Manaia Bone Carving Pendant with Paua Eyes

This beautifully hand-carved Māori Manaia pendant features intricate detailing and inlaid paua shell eyes. Made from natural bone, this 14cm piece is a striking representation of Māori artistry and symbolism.

The Manaia is a spiritual guardian in Māori culture, often depicted with the head of a bird, body of a man, and tail of a fish—representing sky, earth, and sea. It is believed to protect the wearer from evil and act as a messenger between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Perfect as a meaningful gift or a powerful personal talisman, this pendant is strung on an adjustable black cord and ready to wear.
