This necklace, made of Pounamu and featuring a Moko Kauae design, is a symbol of strength and empowerment for Wahine
Size~6cm x 5.5cm, fitted with a handwoven/braided length adjustable necklace cord & presented to you in a gift bag.
Moko Kauae symbolizes a woman's whānau and leadership in her community, acknowledging her whakapapa, status, and skills.
The Moko Kauae, a traditional female chin tattoo for New Zealand Māori women, serves as a symbolic representation of their authentic self. It is believed that every Māori woman carries a moko within them, and when they are ready, a tattoo artist brings it to the surface as a physical manifestation of their identity.
