A 145mm x 40mm hand-carved bone pendant representing the strength, leadership, and spiritual power of a Maori warrior. It features a detailed carving of a defiant tongue (Arero) and a head (Upoko) of the Taiaha with shimmering paua shell eyes, serving as a symbol of constant watchfulness and authority.
The design is inspired by the Taiaha, a traditional long-staff weapon used by chiefs and high-ranking leaders. The tongue represents the "breath of life" and the power of a leader's words, while the double-sided head symbolizes the ability to see in all directions for guidance and protection. Made from polished cattle bone, this "living" treasure is meant to be worn against the skin to absorb your energy, eventually turning a beautiful honey-gold color as it records your personal life story.
