Combine spiritual defense with good fortune and safe journeys through this hand-carved Greenstone Nephrite Jade Manaia Hei Matau Pendant.

This masterful design harmoniously blends two deeply sacred Māori motifs:

  • Manaia (The Guardian Spirit): Depicted with the head of a bird, body of a man, and tail of a fish, serving as a spiritual guardian and messenger between the human and spiritual worlds.

  • Hei Matau (The Fish Hook): A cherished symbol of prosperity, abundance, strength, good health, and safe travel over water.

Hand-carved from authentic  nephrite jade (greenstone) , this 40mm x 25mm pendant is finely polished to highlight its natural soft-green hue and smooth organic grain. It comes ready to wear, fitted with a traditional handcrafted binding cord.

Designed for meaningful gifting or personal cultural appreciation, each piece includes a beautifully printed story card detailing the legendary meanings of the Manaia and Hei Matau, presented in a signature luxury velvet gift box.
