Punganga Manu Collection: Celebrate the Kōkako, a beautiful songbird closely related to the saddleback and huia, whose numbers have sadly declined. Revered by Māori for its melodious voice, the Kōkako features in a captivating legend: it bravely carried water to Māui as he battled the sun, earning its distinctive long, slender legs for effortless movement through the forest. This striking pendant depicts the Kōkako adorned with a kakahu (cloak) of ribbonwood flora, trimmed with a traditional tāniko border. Choose from a 55cm stainless steel chain in silver (as pictured) or stainless gold plate.
