The workmanship in this intricately carved 12.5cm Bone Manaia Necklace is incredible.
The cow bone pendant consists of two entwined Manaia, the Maori spiritual provider over land, sea and air.
The Manaia is believed to ward off intruders and evil spirits.
They have birdlike heads, representing the sky, and often have features of sea creatures, which you can see in the tails.
Each manaia has a paua shell eye.
Notice the very fine, intricate carving over most of the necklace.
The manaia hangs from a long black adjustable cord. The bone carving is approximately 12.5cm (5") long.
Shipped worldwide from New Zealand.
You can also choose from 2 gift options:
Jewellery Box - your necklace will be placed in a plush black jewellery box.
Flax Kete-Style Bag - your jewellery will be placed in a natural flax keepsake bag.

It arrived quickly (before my birthday) and received loads of compliments with my new necklace 🤎
I feel confident with it on and only wear it on special occasions as I want to be as careful as possible with it on.

All items were purchased for Christmas gifts for my grand nephews. As they are very young , the bone toki will be their first carving they will wear until they turn 21 and I then I intend to replace them with a pounamu.
They are ideal for the boys at their ages. 8, 10, 14 and 17.
