This Ōnawa Large Engraved Tooth is made from NZ Ōnawa Pounamu with a knotted binding & then completed with a matt finish The shark tooth design represents strength, this is because the Mako shark is such a resilient, strong creature that has survived on earth for thousands of years. The thinking is that by wearing a 'tooth' of the shark, it will impart some of this resilience onto the wearer. Ōnawa Pounamu is a authentic pounamu piece that reflect strength, grounding, and cultural beauty which is also rooted in tradition while it also celebrates the natural beauty of New Zealand greenstone through meaningful contemporary design represents endurance, whakapapa, and connection to the whenua — carrying the mana and story of each carved piece into the future.
