Bone Manaia 2.24The Manaia is an ancient mythical being with a birds head and a human form. It is said to be the messenger between the earthly world of mortals and the domain of the spirits.

This section also includes many other beings from Maori mythology. Many of these Manaia also incorporate an inlay of beautiful rainbow coloured Paua shell. All carvings are supplied complete with a traditional style cord & bag.Most cords are hand made from black waxed braid with a loop and bone toggle fitted. A woven flax presentation case and information on the meaning of the design is also included. Cords & Packing Detail Fast airmail shipping worldwide is now just US$6.95 for up to 5 pendants.

Featured Artists & One-Off Custom or Limited Edition Carvings:Many of these are very special carvings that are totally unique. They are spectacular one-off or limited eddition pieces in bone, pearl, wood or jade from guest artists and are not part of our normal range. As soon as each carving is sold it will be removed from our site permanently so check for updates often and be quick when you find one that you like, it may be your only chance!!! |
Each piece is crafted by hand so even if following the same design, no two pieces will ever be exactly the same. Unique pieces in bone and pearl can also be designed especially for you, telling your story through traditional styling and some may also include exotic inlays of shell or precious stones.
