Masterfully hand carved by Sands Carving Studio, the Manaia’s flowing form curls into koru-like spirals, and its eye is inlaid with a shimmering pāua shell disc. A soft satin finish lets the natural texture and colour of the kawakawa come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Manaia is a guardian figure in te ao Māori, often shown with the head of a bird, the body of a person and the tail of a fish, uniting sky, land and sea. Seen as a messenger between the earthly and spiritual worlds, it represents protection, balance and guidance on life’s journey. Set on a natural driftwood base shaped by water over time, it makes a striking centrepiece for the home or a meaningful gift. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alex Sands - Sands Carving Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45715293569177,"sku":"SC-SCU-14-ON","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0417\/3142\/4409\/files\/SANMAN03-08.jpg?v=1792291352","url":"https:\/\/www.arrowtownstonework.co.nz\/products\/kawakawa-pounmau-hook-manaia-base-sanman03","provider":"Arrowtown Stonework","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
