NZ Greenstone Manaia Closed Pendant - 65mm

NZ Greenstone Manaia Closed Pendant.

The Manaia is an ancient mythical being with a birds head and a human form.

It is said to be the messenger between the earthly world of mortals and the domain of the spirits.

The Manaia is a holder of great spiritual energy and is a guardian against evil. 

Also in this gallery are other similar guardians such as Taniwha (guardians of t rivers and lakes), and Marakihau (guardians of the ocean) 

The spiral is a Koru, represents the fern frond as it opens bringing new life and purity to the world.

It also represents peace, tranquility and spirituality along with a strong sense of re growth or new beginnings.

The Koru is also often associated with nurturing so when interlocked with others is frequently used to represent the strength and purity of a loving relationship within a family.

This unique and beautiful piece of genuine New Zealand Greenstone or Pounamu as the Maori people have named it.
