This Kapeu pendant has been hand carved from New Zealand pounamu (greenstone/jade) by carver Alex Sands.
The Kapeu features its slight bend at the bottom. It was highly prized and a sign of high rank in Māori society.
Kapeu were sometimes used for rubbing on the gums of babies to soothe the pain of new teeth.
