Pendant - Puhoro

WAREHOUSE ETA: October 2023 - Subject to shipping

This Pacific black oyster mother-of-pearl shell pendant features an engraved design inspired by the traditional pūhoro pattern that adorns waka (canoes) and is seen in Ta Moko. By blending contemporary form with classic Māori artistry and flair, it resonates with both the present and the past, exuding authenticity and deep cultural significance.

The pūhoro design is reminiscent of the ripples and swirls created by a paddle strike, propelling the waka through water. It symbolizes agility, speed, and dexterity, qualities essential for a warrior. Additionally, the design represents movement, journey, and the momentum of life.

Proudly made in Aotearoa, NZ.
