Collection: Manaia
The Maori Manaia necklace is a significant piece of jewelry in Maori culture, originating from the indigenous people of New Zealand. The Manaia is a mythical creature in Maori folklore, often depicted as a bird-like figure with the head of a bird, the body of a human, and the tail of a fish. This pendant symbolizes protection, spirituality, and connection to the natural world.
Crafted with intricate detail, Manaia necklaces are typically made from materials such as bone, wood, greenstone (pounamu), or other precious stones. Each element of the necklace holds deep cultural meaning, from the choice of materials to the carving designs.
Wearing a Maori Manaia necklace is not only a fashion statement but also a way for individuals to honor Maori traditions and connect with their spiritual roots. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Maori people and their enduring connection to the land, sea, and sky.
