THE CAULDRON is a large koru carved from New Zealand Totoweka Jade. This is an exceptional piece of jade art. The stone is a wonderfully coloured - clouds of colour bursting from the bottom and rising towards the very fine koru carved into the top.
This is a large piece with a sense of 'lightness', capturing the essence of the koru symbolism - rebirth, peace and progress!
Hand carved by Ric Moor.
If you look at the top of the piece, you can see a slight red tinge through the stone. This is called 'totoweka' - Weka's blood - and is quite rare, so this just adds a little something extra to a piece that already is quite unique.
In skilled hands, some beautiful work is produced from Totoweka jade - this piece is a wonderful example of the rare ability to 'carve to the stone'.
THE CAULDRON is a lifetime piece, a pendant that we would like to think will be worn daily and remain in a family as an heirloom.
Take a look at the video - it is a very brief clip that shows the pendant slowly rotating. This gives a very clear picture of the jade and the carving's shape and form.
Worn either side it looks fantastic!
We will ship this pendant to you with Express Courier on a four plait brown, adjustable cord and packaged in a woven kete pouch.
