Description

APORO O TOKU KANOHI: Apple of my eye

We are absolutely delighted to have this outstanding piece available. APORO O TOKU KANOHI is a large and beautifully carved piece of jewellery, parts very traditional, and with some wonderful personal touches from the artist.

This is a beautiful piece, carved with a great deal of care and thought. The artist describes it's meaning as follows...

This Taonga is named Aporo o toku kanohi. This translates to 'Apple of my eye'. It is a combination of obay stone, bone, brass, with inlays of paua and mother of
pearl.

The stone is the beautiful obay stone. Obay stone is sourced from a valley of one small area in the Tasman Golden Bay district at the top of the South Island. It is a mix of blue kyanite, green fuchsite and quartz. There is a scattering of gold and platinum throughout some seams as well.

Being at the bottom of the carving, the stone symbolises having a strong base or foundation upon which to rely. Being grounded in love and truth. This is a basis for transformation.

Rather than relying on our own strength, we are encouraged to draw on the spiritual strength from the peace giver. The brass inlay between the bone and pounamu represents a conductive layer between the divine and us.

The bone contains an intricate design centred around the eye of the Manaia. This contains a small inlay of mother of pearl inside the paua which is inside a ring of copper. This represents our triune nature of body, mind and spirit.

Ther main body forms a koru at the centre of the carving. This represents the unfolding of new beginnings and transformation of our innermost being. Just below this is an inlay of pink paua set in a copper ring. This symbolises great love in the heart of our being. The love of the Atua.

The kowhaiwhai pattens represents wholeness and vitality. From the state of wholeness, we are made strong.

APORO O TOKU KANOHI is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch and is provided with a brown adjustable cord. Also included in your package, a note from the carver about your original work of Art to Wear.
