Extra-Large Double Tiki Manaia Bone Pendant Necklace – Hand-Carved Beef Bone with Pāua Shell

The Extra-Large Double Tiki Manaia Bone Pendant Necklace is a striking, hand-carved beef-bone pendant featuring two intricately detailed, stylised figures arranged vertically. Designed in New Zealand, this distinctive necklace combines detailed carving, openwork design and pāua shell eye inlays to create a bold piece of Māori-inspired jewellery.

Measuring 142mm long × 36mm wide × 5mm deep, the pendant comes with an adjustable black cord, making it ready to wear. Its elongated shape, detailed facial features and flowing carved patterns make it a distinctive New Zealand-inspired gift or keepsake.

Design Details

The pendant features two stylised Tiki/Manaia figures, with carefully carved facial details, flowing curves and decorative patterns. Open spaces through the central design create contrast and give the carving a distinctive sculptural appearance.

Pāua shell eye inlays add iridescent colour to the natural bone, highlighting the carved facial details. The vertically arranged figures and extra-large proportions make this pendant a prominent piece of statement jewellery.

The Manaia is a traditional figure in Māori culture, commonly associated with spiritual guardianship and the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. The Tiki represents the human form and is associated in Māori tradition with the origins of humanity. Both figures hold cultural significance in Māori carving and jewellery. In this pendant, the Double Tiki/Manaia design brings these stylised figures together in an intricately hand-carved bone form, featuring pāua shell eye inlays.

Ethically Sourced Beef Bone

Hand-carved from ethically sourced beef bone, this pendant showcases detailed craftsmanship and the natural character of bone. Variations in tone, texture and markings may occur between individual pieces, making each carving subtly unique.

The natural bone contrasts with the iridescent pāua shell eye details, while the intricate carving gives the pendant depth and definition.
