A significant and traditional taonga; this Manaia, carved from bone, features  a distinctive bird-like head, human body, and fish tail.
 
The Manaia symbol serves as a powerful messenger between the living and the spirit world, worn or carried as a reminder of responsibility.  It symbolises protection, balance, and awareness, reflecting the deep connection between the realms of existence. Crafted with respect for Māori heritage, the Manaia blends meaning, beauty, and significance in every detail.
