Hei Manawa Inanga - Greenstone Heart Pendant

Sands Carving Studio

A contemporary form of aroha (love) and affection, hei manawa are the ideal gift for someone that you care about dearly. The heart represents the wisdom of emotion. It is compassion and understanding, life-giving and complex. It has been considered as the seat of the soul, a vessel of identity, and a source of divine power across the ages. 

This hei manawa was carved by Jeremy Walsh from inanga pounamu sourced from Arahura of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 35mm by 31mm, has a semi-gloss finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided polyester cord.
