Porohita Kawakawa - Greenstone Disc Pendant

Porohita (circle) symbolise the completion of cycles, a concept reflected in the celestial dance of Tama-nui-te-rā and Hina-te-marama, the sun and the moon. These circular movements across the sky serve as a powerful reminder of the cyclical nature of life. Giving a porohita as a gift expresses a deep desire to have that person at the center of one's world. This porohita was carved by Aaron Marshall from kawakawa pounamu sourced from Arahura of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 60mm in diameter, engraved with unaunahi and inlaid with notched paua eye. It has a semi-gloss finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
