    Huia Feather

    $1,000.00

    The huia, a now-extinct bird that was native to New Zealand, is remembered for its striking plumage and distinctive tail feathers. In Maori culture, the huia feather is a symbol of nobility, worn traditionally by high-ranking individuals. It is a physical representation of leadership and mana (prestige). Capturing this significance, an 11cm black jade carving of a huia feather has been meticulously crafted, echoing the connection between the spiritual and the earthly realms.

  • Roimata Arataki – Guiding Tear

    SOLD

    Roimata Arataki – Guiding Tear

    $380.00

    Roimata Arataki means guiding tear. The name was chosen to reflect the traditional meaning of the roimata—grief, loss, and emotional release—combined with the qualities of the manu, which represents guidance, awareness, and direction. This taonga is a long roimata carved as a stylised manu form, measuring 95mm in length. The eye-like opening at the top narrows into a fine, beak-like point, giving the piece a sense of movement and intent. A white rind at the tip reads like a tail feather, adding contrast and reinforcing the manu form. Carved from translucent serpentine Bowenite Pounamu from the Tasman area, the stone appears deep green in natural light and reveals its inner depth when held to the sun.
