Kawakawa Greenstone 4 Sided Teardrop Pendant
This greenstone pendant is a one off piece and will not be available again.
This stylised teardrop / drop style pendant has been carved from South Westland Kawakawa greenstone which is found on the west coast of New Zealand's south island.
The piece is chunky, 4 sided and has a wonderfully solid feel to it.
The piece was carved in Hokitika, which is located on the south islands west coast, by Glen Surgenor.
Glen Surgenor
This pendant was hand carved on the west coast of New Zealand in Hokitika by Master Carver Glen Surgenor. Glen Surgenor has been carving greenstone for over 25 years. Glen uses traditional methods when carving, using traditional sand stone rubbing methods and hand sanding to a matte/satin sheen this piece has a great antique look and nice artefact feel.
The Drop/Teardrop
The drop is a stylised version of the toki as known in English as the Adze. The Toki had much meaning to the Maori, it was of course an essential tool for the survival and day to day life of a Maori tribe, it was usually fashioned from stone or greenstone. The Maori also attribute the spiritual meaning of Strengh and Power to the Toki.
The pendant measures 84mm (3.30 inches) long by 20mm (0.8 inch) wide and 10mm (.4 inches) thick. It comes with a black waxed adjustable cord, velvet pouch and meaning card.
