A Collection of seasonal art of all mediums and genres, and from artists of all ages and talents from well seasoned experts to beginners.
Artist's Comments
I was organising my gallery and I realised that there were a few Jade pieces I'd never actualy added.
So here's one of them! A handcarved Hei Matau pendant, designed and carved by me in New Zealand, from New Zealand Greenstone (Nephrite Jade). This is a slightly less usual type of Nephrite Jade, being almost opaque and of a much lighter colour than the type usually carved. The Hei Matau (Fish Hook) represents strength and determination. It brings peace, prosperity and good health. It also provides a safe journey through water. This carving is 47mm long, 34mm wide, 3mm thick at the loop and 9mm thick at the base. (1.85 inches long, 1.34 inches wide, 0.12 inches thick at the loop and 0.35 inches thick at the base) This piece is for sale in my Etsy shop - [link] <--- more pics of different angles here.  |
