Hei Matau Inanga Raukaraka Notched Pounamu Sculpture

Carved from Raukaraka Inanga greenstone in soft cool greens and warm sandy tones, this Hei Matua sculpture showcases the stone’s natural glow and coastal character.

The carved notches reflect traditional Māori carving, historically symbolising whakapapa (genealogy) and the passing of wisdom between generations; today, they may also represent whānau members or loved ones, adding personal meaning to each pendant.
This piece can be worn as a pendant or admired on its handcrafted wooden base as a sculpture; the fishhook form symbolises safe passage across water and a deep bond with te moana - ideal for marking life’s journey and celebrating heritage.
