This beautiful greenstone Jade Manaia Pendant is a Maori guardianship symbol.
In Maoridom, designs carry a spiritual message. The Manaia is a carrier of supernatural powers, and it acts as a provider and protector over the sky, earth and sea. It normally is depicted with a bird-like head, but often with other human features as well. The Manaia is worn for its protective powers, and is a favourite of people in the armed forces.
The greenstone Manaia can be worn by both men and women. This jade pendant measures approximately 1 5/8" (4.3cm) long and comes to you on a traditional adjustable black cord.
The Manaia also comes to you on a descriptive card, to always remind you of its significance.
