NZ Greenstone Manaia on Pine Stand (Pointed Tail – Small)

This beautifully hand-carved New Zealand Greenstone Manaia would make a lovely Souvenir of New Zealand, a Corporate Gift or a Trophy.

The Greenstone Manaia measures approx 4cm Wide by 7cm High by 0.5cm Thick (not including Wooden Stand).

The Stand is made from New Zealand Pine Wood and measures 10cm Long by 7cm Wide by 3.4cm High (Angled).

Overall Height is approx 10.5cm.

The Manaia is traditionally believed to be the messenger between the earthly world of mortals and the domain of the spirits, and its symbol is used as a guardian against evil. In this form, it is usually represented in a figure-of-eight shape, the upper half culminating in a bird-like beak.
