A cheerful and lovely little carving in whalebone. Whimsically carved by Master Carver Fumio Noguchi, this petite and captivating carving embodies the playful spirit of the humpback whale.
For those who carry the sea in their souls and hear poetry in the whale’s song, this pendant is a wearable fragment of the deep - a whisper of mysteries and breaching giants, crafted to honour the ocean’s most majestic storytellers.
WHALE'S LULLABY will age beautifully. It is carved from a tough material, so wear this piece 24/7 without a worry!
Here in the South Pacific whales are treasured as bearers of good luck and joy, they are revered for their speed and strength. Whale pendants are believed to offer protection when travelling, especially over water. If you have had the good fortune to observe them in their natural habitat you will appreciate their gentle nature.
Physiologically they have things in common with humans - spindle neurons in their brains, similar to ours, that are involved in social conduct, emotions and certain nurturing behaviours - perhaps that's why we feel such an empathy for these magnificent creatures of the deep.
These ocean cruisers that can reach around 12-16 meters in length and up to 30 tonnes - these are mighty creatures so it is a real pleasure to have one carved so beautifully for you.
The material used for WHALE'S LULLABY is Whale Bone. The eyes are made from inlaid Buffalo Horn.
