DAWN AWAKENING

DAWN AWAKENING - a wonderful, Pepi (baby), HEI TIKI pendant.

Carved from an exceptionally dark piece of pounamu, this Hei Tiki is a piece of quiet magnitude. Its name, ‘DAWN AWAKENING’ is reflected in its unique form, where the classic silhouette gives way to graceful, teardrop shape, suggesting the first soft light of a new day.

The finish is masterfully rendered to be deeply tactile, its surface inviting the hand to hold and connect.  Its presence is felt as much as it is seen.

This is a carved sculpture of significant stature and soul. A definitive work of art, DAWN AWAKENING is destined to occupy both a physical space, and a central and cherished place in a family's narrative for generations to come.

The thinking behind the tiki design in the artist's words...

A treasured symbol of fertility, strength and ancestral connection. The Hei Tiki is worn for protection and guidance, embodying wisdom passed down through generations.

This is a beautiful piece, carved with a great deal of care and thought.

The materials used are New Zealand Pounamu (Jade) and Pāua Shell.

DAWN AWAKENING is provided with a Sage Green/Manuka Green adjustable cord and will be packaged in a woven kete pouch for delivery.
