Brand New, Never Used New Zealand Maori-Designed Beef Cow Bone Pendant With Adjustable Necklace. 100% Hand-Carved Beef Cow Bone and Hand-Engraved Scrimshaw Surface Patterns.
- Symbolism: The Pendant's Overall Circlular Shape Signifies "Eternity". Honu (Sea Turtle): A Guardian. For the Maori, the Sea Turtle is a "Life’s Navigator". The honu are occasional visitors to <></>New Zealand waters and are well known since ancient times. The Honu is the symbol of longevity, peace, humility, fertility and the spirit within. They also represent wisdom and those who enjoy traveling. Turtles are also featured in tribal traditions as Kaitiaki (Guardians, Guides) on the ancestors' canoe journeys. Koru: The Koru, Which is Often Used in Maori Art as a Symbol of Creation, is a Scroll Shape That is Linked to New Zealand Fern Plants; Specifically, the New Zealand Silver Fern. The Shoot of the Fern has a Curled-over Tip which Unfurls to Eventually Become a Fern Leaf. As it Reaches up Towards the Light, the New Fern Shoot Strives for Perfection to Encourage New Positive Beginnings. The Spiral Circular Shape Conveys the Geometry of Life Being a Sacred Creation and the Idea of Perpetual Movement. The Inward Coil Suggests a Return to the Point of Origin. The Koru therefore Symbolizes the Way in Which Life Both Changes and Stays the Same. The Koru is an Integral Symbol in Maori Carvings and Tattoos and the Shape is Often Carved Using Bone or Shells. Overall, the Koru Represents the Unfolding of New Life, New Beginnings, Growth, Strength, Peace and Movement that is Shared with the Another Person (Eternal Friendship). Everything is Reborn and Continues, a Renewal and Hope for the Future.
