Description
Te Ārai o te Mārama translates as The Shield of Light, recognising both the symbolism of the kōuma and the remarkable way this Tāngiwai reveals its beauty. While one face has a deep green, almost mysterious appearance, the other transforms in the light, becoming wonderfully translucent with intricate natural patterns flowing through the stone.
Carved from Tāngiwai Pounamu sourced from Piopiotahi (Milford Sound), this taonga showcases the qualities that make this stone so highly regarded. Its shifting appearance gives it a different character depending on how it is viewed, revealing new details and colours as the light changes.
The kōuma is a symbol of protection, shelter, and inner strength. It represents carrying yourself with confidence while remaining grounded through life’s challenges. Whether worn as a personal reminder or given as a meaningful gift, it speaks of resilience, guidance, and the quiet strength that protects those we care about.
The taonga is suspended from a black cord and finished with a traditional black five-hole ring bolt lashing, complementing the natural beauty of the stone without distracting from its remarkable patterns and glow.
