Maori jewelry Greenstone Jade Manaia

The Manaia is the carrier of supernatural powers-the spiritual guardian which protects the wearer from evil. It is traditionally depicted with the head of a bird, the body of a man and the tail of a fish- creating a balance between sky, earth and the sea.
The pendant is carved on both sides.
It comes in a black, velvet drawstring bag and has a card with it. It is hung on a waxed, cord with greenstone toggles at the ends.Height: 1.4 inches / 37 mm
