Carved from authentic New Zealand pounamu greenstone, this striking 8cm manaia necklace embodies the spiritual guardian figure revered in Māori culture.

The manaia traditionally represents protection, balance, and connection between the physical and spiritual realms.

Hand-crafted from genuine greenstone, each piece showcases the stone's natural variations and luminous qualities.

The substantial size makes a bold statement while the beautiful demonstrates skilled craftsmanship.

Wear this meaningful taonga as a personal talisman or cherished gift that honours New Zealand's cultural heritage.

The Maori Manaia is a spiritual guardian over land, sea and air, warding off danger and protecting from intruders. 

The 8cm (3 1/4") pounamu manaia hangs from a sturdy plaited cord.
