This Pekapeka is hand carved from Kawakawa Pounamu, showing beautiful milder green tones with natural inclusions and depth throughout the stone. The paired Manaia forms flow together beautifully, creating a sense of harmony and movement in the design. Finished with a fine polish, it’s a striking pendant with presence and balance.
