Description
Carved from Marutea Pakohe, this 90mm Roimata carries the elegance of movement and the strength of stone. Pakohe, a traditional stone tool material prized by Māori, is known for its hardness and integrity. This particular form, often referred to as Marutea type, is rich and dark with a fine texture, making it ideal for both functional and symbolic carving.
The taonga is gently tapered at both ends, with smooth, flowing curves that invite touch. It’s bound with a sleek black spiral lashing, grounding the piece in tradition and contrast. As a Roimata (tear drop form), this pendant represents the flow of emotion — grief, healing, and compassion. It also symbolises connection and aroha, making it a powerful gift or personal taonga to carry your story.
Whether worn or displayed, this is a one-of-a-kind expression of strength through grace — a modern heirloom grounded in the ancient traditions of Aotearoa.
