Pounamu greenstone with inlay Paua shell

Introducing my newest carving journey at Dot Arts — Pāua shell inlaid into Pounamu (Greenstone), featuring beautiful Kōwhaiwhai (traditional Māori patterns).

Combining the shimmering colours of Pāua with the natural beauty of Pounamu, this new technique brings together traditional Māori artistry and contemporary creativity. Each piece is a unique taonga (treasure), handcrafted with aroha (love).
