Hand-carved NZ Pounamu
Hassle-free returnsThe complete size of the sculpture on the cradle and base is 245mm x 120mm. This niho form, inlaid with a koru, blends the ideas of protection, resolve and continual growth. Tamaora Walker’s carving emphasises the strength of the niho shape while the koru’s gentle spiral adds a layer of renewal and forward movement. The contrast within the stone mirrors the balance between stability and fresh opportunity. It’s a piece that naturally conveys confidence, optimism and a grounded approach to future endeavours.

The artist behind this creationPerhaps it’s a trick of the light that lends translucence to Tamaora’s work. Or maybe this glow is evidence of an ancient Māori belief that pounamu lives and breathes. Tamaora regards pounamu with reverence and respect born of his Māori heritage, with traditional forms and symbolism deeply influencing his designs. Tamaora is from Ngāti Rangiwewehi, Ngāti Whakaue and Ngāti Rangitihi.
He has also exhibited overseas and studied the work of international carvers.
