PŪRĀKAU - Stories

Outstanding New Zealand Art, made to Wear!

PŪRĀKAU is hand carved from New Zealand Tangiwai Pounamu and is an absolute beauty. Dark and mysterious, this is a standout piece of stone, beautifully carved and finished. Tangiwai is the most ancient form of pounamu and takes its name from the Māori 'tangi' - to cry and 'wai' - water, 'tears of sorrow'. It is the perfect stone for this marvellous pendant.

Aaron is a new artist for us and we are particularly impressed with the quality of his work.

PŪRĀKAU is a fine example of his work - he has given the stone a mirror polish - only possible when working with high quality stone and applying a lot of attention to detail. This is best seen in the brief video we have taken of the piece revolving.

This piece is suspended from a 3-plait tan/black adjustable cord and has a traditional black lashing.

PŪRĀKAU incorporates the koru in a wonderful, subtly engraved form. The koru is the symbol of new beginnings, traditionally it is a carved representation of a young, newly formed fern frond - very fragile but with enormous potential.

The toki, or adze, is a symbol of strength. The adze was a key survival tool, so the owner of a good one was believed to be strong and powerful. They were used to carve ocean-going waka (sea canoes) and to build central meeting houses so they played a central role in traditional life of māori.

The toki is traditionally worn for strength and courage - to assist through life's challenges.

PŪRĀKAU will be delivered packaged in a woven kete pouch.

We also include our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explain the meaning behind the Toki and Koru design.

Delivery with Express Courier is included in the price.
