Roimata - Pounamu #8

This beautiful Roimata is carved from Kawakawa and is lashed with an adjustable black waxed cord.

Roimata is the Māori word for tears, also known as the Drop or Tear Drop.  Roimata represents the flow of positive energy, healing, strength, courage, caring, comfort, compassion, and empathy.  It is often gifted to people in times of grief to signify they are not alone and to draw strength from the taonga and its connection to the land.  It can also be given to promote confidence and reassurance to the wearer, grounding them in the challenges they face and in general, life.
