The little sister of our Memoir pendant... hand carved in woolly mammoth tusk - material over 30,000 years old. A beautifully balanced, hand carved koru pendant with Koru relief carving detail.
The Mammoth Tusk used for this piece is CERTIFIED 34,690 YEARS OLD (+/- 815 years). All our Woolly Mammoth Tusk pieces are provided with our certificate of authenticity.
We had our mammoth material carbon dated to get an accurate measure of its age. The testing was done for us by GNS Science, a New Zealand Crown Research Institute and New Zealand's leading provider of Earth, geoscience and isotope research - so their assessment of this material is as accurate as is possible using radiocarbon dating technology.
We have more than one available! Please use the dropdown menu to select the piece you would like to receive.
The Koru is a traditional Maori tribal symbol of creation, new beginnings, love, peace and harmony. The detailed carved design is used to talk about the past - the story of the tribe, or an individual, carved in wood or bone to preserve information for future generations.
Please note - the photo shown in the hand is for size reference only.
This carving is presented in a traditional woven flax pouch. The cords are length adjustable.
We will also include one of our 'Kia Ora' cards which explains the meaning behind the Koru design.
Note: The material we carve these pendants from is not treated in anyway. Each piece varies in colour and grain appearance.
