Description
This is a true statement piece â a Niho carved from TÄkiri Pounamu (Douglas Creek Pounamu), measuring 11cm long and 7cm wide. The sweeping curve of the tooth form gives it presence straight away, holding its weight and shape with confidence.
The Niho design symbolises strength, resolve, and protection. It speaks to someone who carries themselves with purpose and who steps forward when needed. A piece of this size intensifies that meaning. It is not subtle; it declares identity, grounding, and determination. A taonga like this is worn by someone who understands what they stand for, and who values courage and clarity in their journey.
Across the top is a seven-hole ring-bolt lashing, strong and balanced, holding the form securely. The cord is a deep forest-green and black braid, chosen to match the tones that run through this piece of TÄkiri Pounamu. Completing it is a toggle carved by Paul from the same stone, keeping the whole taonga connected from end to end in one unified story.
Douglas Creek Pounamu is known for its dramatic dark greens, blacks, and swirling patterns. This piece showcases all of those qualities, giving the Niho a bold and natural energy that suits the scale of the taonga.
This is a carving that stands out immediately. Its meaning sits close, but its presence reaches far.
