The taiaha head pendant embodies the spirit of guardianship, courage, and ancestral wisdom. Its form draws from the sacred weapon of the warrior - the taiaha. The Taiaha symbolises precision, discipline, and the balance between strength and restraint. As a pendant, it carries this mana in a more intimate form, worn close to the heart as a reminder of leadership guided by humility and purpose. The taiaha head honours the legacy of those who stood to protect, lead, and serve with unwavering integrity.
Material: Pakohe (Argillite) and Pāua (Abalone Shell)
Measurements: 130mm (L) x 48mm (W) x 14mm (D)
