This Porohita pendant has been handcrafted from Kahotea Pounamu, displaying a rich and deep green hue with subtle mossy Putiputi (Flower) across the stone. The circular form symbolises unity and life’s continual journey. A fine polish enhances the depth and natural beauty of the Greenstone, creating a calm and timeless taonga.
Porohita/The Disc - Represents the circle of life which has no beginning or end. It means you have a choice to do and achieve whatever you want to in life. Its curved lines also represent the idea of energy and movement and like the cyclical nature of time and seasons, where one path ends, another begins. The Disc is also believed to have protective qualities and can symbolize a shield or a boundary that keeps negative influences and harm at bay.
