Raniera Watson of Ngāti Tūwharetoa is a Māori carver and artist from Aotearoa, creating handmade taonga inspired by whakapapa, tikanga Māori, and traditional designs. His work includes hei tiki, pounamu-style carvings, and contemporary Māori art that reflects both cultural identity and creativity. Raniera is also studying Māori law, further strengthening the cultural foundations behind his work.

Passed through generations, the Hei Tiki is more than an ornament - it embodies ancestral connection, and symbolises fertility, prosperity, and protection. Believed to bestow strength of character, it guides the wearer towards loyalty, clarity, and keen perception. Often carved with its tongue protruding, the Tiki wards off negativity, serving as both a spiritual guardian and a beacon of good fortune.

Comes with an adjustable cord and Jute drawstring bag.
