Silver Pekapeka - Pounamu Roimata

This Taonga is a blend of Customary, and Contemporary. A cast Customary-style Silver Pekapeka sits atop a Pounamu Roimata.

Pekapeka is the Māori word for 'Bat' - fun fact, the 2x species of Bat that exist in Aotearoa are our only native land mammal!

Pekapeka are fantastic Taonga - being not only symmetrical, but also double sided! One understanding is that this dual symmetry mirrors the nature of our native bats, themselves.

The stone used for this Taonga is a lovely slice of Dark Kahurangi Pounamu, from here in Aotearoa.

Pekapeka, Jumpring, and Chain are all Solid Sterling Silver.
The chain is a 50cm, 1mm Curb-link.

20 x 44mm
