Pounamu Taniwha Pendant on Stand | Alex Sands

Bring the mythical power of Aotearoa into your home with this striking Taniwha artwork, a profoundly unique New Zealand made product, hand carved from our unique Pounamu. This piece can be removed from the stand and worn for those special occasions.

This exquisite piece beautifully captures the shifting nature of the legendary creature, known to appear as a giant reptile, a massive shark, or a spined tuatara.

Deeply rooted in traditional pūrākau, this stunning creation honors the powerful beings credited with physically carving out our majestic rivers, lakes, and harbors.

The design embodies the complex dual nature of the taniwha, serving as a watchful kaitiaki that protects the land while remaining fiercely dangerous to those who violate sacred tapu.
