Hand-carved NZ Pounamu
Hassle-free returnsThis dark green New Zealand pounamu Hei Tiki was crafted by local Rotorua artist Akapita Scally from an exceptional piece of stone with yellow hues which run down one side of the piece. Etched detailing runs throughout the design to create the features of the Hei Tiki and the stone is inlaid with glowing paua shell eyes.
The artist behind this creationFuelled by the love of seeing his ideas come to life in pounamu, Akapita Scally carefully considers design flow and significance when creating his signature pieces known for their meticulous finish and radiating beauty.
As a part of Rotorua’s carving industry for the past decade, Aka has had the privilege of working alongside some of the town’s finest pounamu artists. His designs are notable for their perfect lines and exemplary finishing, and he is particularly skilled at reflecting traditional forms whilst pushing contemporary boundaries.
Akapita is from Ngāti Rangiwewehi, Ngāti Whakaue and Ngāti Rangitihi.
