This pendant is part of a collection that pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of the South Pacific and Polynesia through unique designs. Though not an original artifact, it is a carefully crafted reproduction and interpretation, honoring the spirit and beauty of ancient traditions, with inspiration from authentic pieces found in museums worldwide.
In Maori culture, the circle is a potent symbol often incorporated into art and design. It represents unity, completeness, and the cyclical nature of life, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all living things. The circle also carries connotations of protection, believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. This deeply meaningful symbol is integral to traditional Maori art, reflecting the cultural beliefs and values of the Maori people.
This modern recreation of the Tiki encapsulates these profound cultural symbols, making it a significant addition to any collection.
