Bone breast plate - Manaia

Bone Double Manaia Necklace

Size (mm): 140 W x 32 H 

This bone carving is a beautiful piece of Māori jewellery. This Māori necklace comes with a black wax cord. The height that the pendant hangs at can be adjusted using the sliding knots. The eye of the Manaia is made from Pāua shell. Each carving is supplied loose in a cellophane bag. Each piece is individually carved so slight variations can occur.

The Manaia is a symbol of protection and acts as a guardian against evil.
