Manaia, a powerful personal guardian in Māori tradition, embodies mana – the concept of power, authority, and prestige. Believed to possess ethereal presence and energy, the manaia protects its wearer and maintains spiritual balance. In Māori cosmology, the manaia is often depicted as a kaitiaki (protector) and messenger between the earthly and spiritual worlds.
This manaia was carved by Mike Matchitt from white flower kahurangi pounamu sourced from Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 103mm by 41mm, has a matt finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided polyester cord.
