TE MOHIO O NGA TUPUNA: Ancestral Wisdom
This Koruru pendant is a striking example of creative material synergy and wonderful craftsmanship. The artist has masterfully combined three distinct elements into a unified whole: a pounamu top carved in the spirit of a toki form, a central anchor of ancient New Zealand kauri wood, and a bone carving at the base depicting the guardian's face.
The result is a piece that celebrates contrast - stone, timber, and bone brought together precisely and with artistic vision. Each material is shaped and finished with care, and the seamless integration of the three speaks to the artist's skill.
This is wearable art for those who appreciate innovation in form and a fearless approach to material combination.
A full description of this piece, from the artist, will be provided to the buyer with the pendant.
