HEI TIKI RIRA
The Hei Tiki RIRA is a meticulously hand-carved pendant measuring 70mm by 40mm, embodying the artistry and deep traditions of Maori craftsmanship. Its intricate details and shimmering pāua shell inlays for the eyes give it a striking presence, making it both a meaningful talisman and an elegant piece of wearable art.
In Maori culture, the Hei Tiki holds sacred significance as a representation of the human embryo, symbolizing new life, fertility, and continuity. It has long been associated with protection and spiritual well-being, often given as a gift to new parents to bring good fortune and prosperity to their family. Over time, the Hei Tiki becomes a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations, carrying with it the mana (power) and stories of those who wore it before.
This pendant is not only a symbol of connection to heritage but also serves as a guardian talisman, offering protection to its wearer. Perfect for those seeking a meaningful gift or a timeless addition to their personal collection, the Hei Tiki RIRA honors the rich cultural legacy of Aotearoa.
