| Maori Greenstone Jade Manaia Pendant - A Greenstone Jade pendant incorporating Hei Matau and Te manaia designs. For Maori the Manaia is the carrier of supernatural powers-the spiritual guardian which protects the wearer from evil. It is traditionally depicted with the head of a bird, the body of a man and the tail of a fish- creating a balance between sky, earth and the sea.
The Hei-matau or Fish Hook shape represents strength and determination and brings peace, prosperity and good health. It also provides a safe journey over water.
