Hi there, the images shown here are a collection of the greenstone work i have recently been doing. They are all NZ Maori styles of carving and all have significance and meaning from within the Maori culture. My grandfather was a master carver and my uncles are now keeping the family tradition going by continuing to carve also. I am therefore also doing my part to add my interpertation. Please feel free to browse the images here and to visit my website for more information and to buy similar pieces securely at www.manaiatoi.com. I am also availlable right now to do commission work.
