NOTE: Brand New, Never Used Maori-Designed Replica Wood Pendant With Adjustable Necklace Cord. 100% Genuine Big Island Solid Acacia Koa Wood (Not Treated, Not Colored) With Koa Wood Closures.
Symbolism: TThe Pendant's Overall Shape Represents "Unity". Koru (Spiraling Scroll) ~ 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. Puhoro (Curled Lines) ~The Maori Puhoro is a Type of Moko (Tattoo) Pattern Traditionally Worn on the Arms or Legs. The Hand-Carved Puhoro Design on This Niho Palaoa is Based on Traditional Maori Ta Moko Tattooing Patterns. The Design Depicts the Wake of a Canoe, Gliding at Speed Across the Water With Rippling Waves Following Close Behind. As With all Maori Designs, it Carries a Spiritual Meaning. The Puhoro Represents Swiftness, Agility, Strength, and Courage of Character.
