Whale Bone Manaia with Eyes

Whale Bone Manaia with Eyes | Alex Sands

Alex Sands demonstrates extraordinary delicacy with this Whale Bone Manaia. Carved from ethically sourced bone, the pendant features a luminous, creamy finish that highlights the incredibly fine Whakarei (patterned carving) along the curves of the guardian’s body.

The use of bone allows for a level of sharp, intricate detail that contrasts beautifully with the organic flow of the Manaia form.

The piece is punctuated by shimmering Paua shell eyes, giving the twin heads a soulful, watchful presence.

As a traditional messenger between the spirit and physical worlds, this Manaia serves as a powerful symbol of guidance and protection.

Carved by Jeremy Walsh - grounded yet sophisticated, it’s a piece designed to be worn with mana.
