A gorgeous Kuru from a beautiful piece of Inanga Pounamu. The soft colours are amazing and with the wonderful decorative work resembling a braided basket (Kete whakairo) this will be a treasured gift that will carry on through the generations.
The Drop/Kuru- Drop pendants are regarded as touch stones for meditation and representing a connection to the whenua (the land) Aotearoa (New Zealand). The Kuru design is a simple slender length of pounamu worn to encourage knowledge, confidence and independence.
Genuine West Coast Inanga Pounamu takes its name from a freshwater fish native to New Zealand. It is pale and often transparent, like the young of the Inanga fish. It is pearly white to grey-green in colour, and ranges from translucent to quite opaque. It can change colour over time, developing a light olive tint as it ages and oxidises - Highly prized by the Māori and the desired material for making Mere and Patu.Sourced from the Arahura
