The rugged West Coast is the home of New Zealand's sacred Pounamu (nephrite jade)
where it is found as boulders in the high mountain streams.
These exclusive and rare carvings are one-off pieces by guest artists such as Margaret Bishop, Roger Cleghorn, Dean Hethrington and Brant Travis. These often very reclusive
artists mostly from the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand produce some
of the countries finest work with an unmistakable inner beauty and simple but
stunning form and quality.
We are truly honored to be able to display some of their work here.

Hand carved from a huge piece of very rare Marsden Pounamu (often called flower jade for its strong colours), this amazing one of a kind sculpture illustrates the two faces of the Maori Warrior.
It is mounted on a large piece of polished native driftwood and also features hand made hair of local plant fibres just as ropes were made my the ancient Maori.
The Head is fitted onto the base with a jade pin so can be lifted off the base easily
This has been a true labour of lover for Adam and showcases not only his incredible skill as an artist but his passion for the Maori culture. It will never be repeated so will remain the most unique example of sculpture in Pounamu that has been seen in New Zealand for many years.
