The carving includes a traditional three-fingered hand symbolizing the cycle of birth, life, and death. As a \"living taonga\" the bone material is porous, allowing it to become a personal record of the wearer's journey as it changes color through daily contact with the skin. The Paua shell inlays act as the \"Eyes of the Ancestors,\" offering protection and insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about the Manaia: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tuwharetoabone.com\/blogs\/news\/maori-manaia-meaning-symbolism\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCLICK HERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eExclusive to Toa Bone.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCopyright (C) Toa Bone.
