Mere Pounamu - Marsden Īnanga Raukaraka on Stand | Yuki Tanaka 

Own a piece of Aotearoa's legacy with this stunning Mere Pounamu, masterfully carved by Yuki Tanaka.

Carved from Marsden Īnanga Raukaraka Pounamu.

Resting gracefully on native New Zealand timber, this isn't just a beautiful object; it's a profound taonga (treasure).

Historically, the mere pounamu was the most revered of all Māori weapons, held as the weapon of a chief, a Rangatira. These significant pieces were passed down through generations, given names, and were said to possess their own mana (prestige and spiritual power).

This mere is a powerful symbol of leadership, strength, and cultural pride – a truly exceptional addition to any collection.
