Description

Porohita Kōkopu - Greenstone Disc PendantPorohita (circle) symbolise the completion of cycles, a concept reflected in the celestial dance of Tama nui te r and Hina te marama, the sun and the moon. These circular movements across the sky serve as a powerful reminder of the cyclical nature of life. Giving a porohita as a gift expresses a deep desire to have that person at the center of one's world. This porohita was carved by Jeremy Walsh from kkopu pounamu sourced from Marsden of Te Wai
