Hand carved Bone, Jade, Wood & Pearl
shell pendants, carvings, gifts & art

|
|
Featured Artist:Peter Bishop Peter comes from the wild west coast of New Zealand's South Island. Many of these special pieces are custom carvings with unique patterns in the jade that can not be repeated and therefore do not appear in our main catalogue. Some of the basic "design elements" may be repeated but the colour, pattern and texture of the special jades from which each is carved makes most pieces very unique. Once each piece sells it will be removed from our site permanently. Please Note - Some examples on the jade pages show
the carvings with a degree of back lighting to illustrate their
luminosity. All carvings are supplied complete with a traditional style cord & bag. Fast airmail shipping worldwide is now just
US$6.95 for up to 5 pendants.

These very special and spectacular carvings are large collectors pieces that can be used for display, framed or worn. For the right person and right occasion however they need to be worn and touched for their real power to be known.
Large ceremonial carvings like this were worn by Maori warriors and tribal chieftains as a mark of leadership and status within the tribe. Many Maori and some Pakeha still wear large carvings likes these today.

This exquisite Matau represents a strong leader who leads with compassion and understanding, being a guardian for those who follow. It also shows someone with a great passion for the oceans from which all life springs and for the land of our birth. |
