SPARK - a superbly carved, 'one-off' piece of jewellery...
A New Zealand Argillite whale tail, hand carved by Rueben Tipene. This is a beautifully crafted piece, carved from a dark smokey grey piece of Argillite Stone.
This piece can be worn reversed - each side shows the wonderful, crisp carving and mellifluous design. An exceptional carving!
The whale is synonymous with friendship, loyalty, trust and kindness. They have quite some significance in Polynesian cultures. Here in New Zealand they are believed to be descendants of Tangaroa - the God of the Oceans. They are regarded as sacred and supernatural beings and are believed to provide guidance and protection.
SPARK is a touching representation of these sentiments, a beautifully carved piece of art, from a wonderful artist.
