Pounamu Porohita

Pounamu Porohita  | Kawakawa Stone

Operating from their studio in Whanganui, Madelyne Gourdin and Nick Spicer Balme of Kawakawa Stone blend world-class technical skill with a genuine respect for the materials of Aotearoa.

This Pounamu Porohita is a sophisticated example of how a traditional shape can carry deep and resonant meaning, carved from rare Whakatū pounamu from Nelson.

The Porohita represents the circle of life, a form with no beginning and no end that speaks to the eternal nature of the spirit.

This particular piece is unique for the intricate carving across its surface, which follows the natural flow and character of the pounamu to reveal its hidden depths.

It serves as a grounding symbol of balance and continuity, keeping the wearer connected to the rhythms of the natural world.

Choosing a hand-carved disc like this is a beautiful way to celebrate the enduring spiritual heritage of New Zealand in your everyday life.
