This 55mm x 30mm hand-carved bone pendant represents the Manaia, the quintessential spiritual guide and "Invisible Companion" of Maori tradition. It is a protective taonga engineered to ward off malevolence and provide the wearer with a direct intuitive link to ancestral wisdom.
Traditionally believed to sit upon the shoulder of the wearer, the Manaia acts as a sentinel against negative energy while carrying prayers to the heavens. Crafted from high-density bovine bone, this "living object" is designed to absorb your Mauri (life force). Over time, the porous bone will transition to a signature honey-gold patina, serving as a physical record of your personal Whakapapa and spiritual journey.
