Roimata Tangiwai- Greenstone Teardrop Pendant
CHF 178.00
The roimata embodies our emotions in times of joy, sadness, celebration and tribulation. Traditionally made from pounamu adzes or similar tools that were too worn down to be functional, they were gifted as a way of remembering the history and tūpuna (ancestors). They remind us of our humanity, and our ability to overcome adversity even when the path is spiritually difficult.
This roimata was carved by Yuki Tanaka from tangiwai sourced from Anita Bay of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 92mm by 20mm, has a glossy finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
