Bone Manaia Pendant XL BPXL017

Bone Manaia Pendant Extra-Large

Size (mm): 39 W x 148 H 

The Manaia Pendant is a powerful embodiment of Māori spirituality and craftsmanship. Hand-carved from natural beef bone, this striking piece features the manaia—a revered guardian figure with the head of a bird, the body of a human, and the tail of a fish. Known as a messenger between the physical and spiritual realms, the manaia offers protection, guidance, and balance.

Intricately detailed and inlaid with pāua shell, the pendant shimmers with the iridescent hues of Aotearoa’s coastal waters, symbolizing insight and spiritual awareness. Its flowing form evokes movement and connection—between land, sea, and sky; past, present, and future.

Suspended on an adjustable cord, this pendant is designed to rest close to the heart, where its meaning resonates most deeply. Whether worn as a personal taonga or gifted to someone you cherish, the Mania Pendant is a timeless reminder of the guardians who walk beside us.
