Description

These two cards we made are from our collection of taonga we consider to be significant and statement pieces.

The Manaia – Seahorse a spiritual guardian – In Maori culture the manaia is a mythological creature who serves as a messenger between the mortal and spirit worlds. We have chosen the whakatoki (proverb) He Kai Kei Aku Ringa  – Signifies resilience empowerment and hope. It refers to one’s ability to use skill and resources they have to create success.

The Tiki – symbolizes power, knowledge, wisdom and wealth. In Maori culture it represents the human form and one’s ancestors. It links the past, present and future. We have chosen the whakatoki (proverb) Aha koa he iti he Pounamu he toanga – Even though it is small it is precious, it is treasure. We thought of this as the card is small but the gesture of aroha (love) in the gifting of the card has more significance.

Both Cards have blank inside panels that can be written with the thoughts of the gifty.

These cards are sold separately with an envelope.
