Roimata Inanga Raukaraka - Greenstone Teardrop Pendant

Sands Carving Studio

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 Alex Sands from inanga raukaraka pounamu sourced from the Waimea River of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 64mm by 28mm and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
