Pounamu Pito Blade

Pounamu Pito Blade | Alex Sands

Elevate your collection with a singular New Zealand creation: the Pounamu Pito Blades sculpture from Alex Sands and Sands Carving Studio, Waikato.

Each piece is expertly hand-carved from authentic New Zealand pounamu.

Its smooth, elongated form reveals the stone's natural green variations and intricate markings.

Presented on a natural timber base, it carries the essence of a potent blade and the promise of a flourishing future.

The "Pito" (navel or umbilical cord) deeply symbolises our ties to ancestry, origins, and the land, making this a profoundly significant taonga.

Alex Sands, of Māori and European descent, cultivates a skilled team bringing traditional Māori designs and contemporary art to life.
