Bone Manaia Carvings - 1:
The Manaia is an ancient mythical being with a birds
head and a human form. It is said to be the messenger between the earthly
world of mortals and the domain of the spirits. The Manaia is a holder
of great spiritual energy and is a guardian against evil. It can be seen
blended into many Maori designs with subtle differences between tribes.
This section also includes many other beings from Maori mythology.
Many of these Manaia also incorporate an inlay
of beautiful rainbow coloured Paua shell.
 All carvings are supplied complete with a traditional style cord & bag.
Most cords are hand made from black waxed braid with a loop and bone toggle fitted. A woven flax presentation case and information on the meaning of the design is also included.

These are very special carvings are often spectacular unique or limited edition pieces in bone, pearl, wood or jade from guest artists and are not part of our normal range.
These often reclusive artists take their inspiration not only from Maori mythology but also from the many other cultures that now share our beautiful land. They also illustrate the deep respect these artists have for the natural and spiritual worlds.
As soon as each carving is sold it will be removed from our site permanently so check for updates often and be quick when you find one that you like, it may be your only chance!!
|
|
Each piece is crafted by hand so even if following the same design, no two
pieces will ever be exactly the same. Unique pieces in bone and pearl can also
be designed especially for you, telling your story through traditional styling
and some may also include exotic inlays of shell or precious stones.
|
Presentation Boxes (Wakahuia)
Available in several styles and sizes are the perfect finishing touch for these carvings
|
These can be found in our Wood & Wood Carvings section HERE
