Pekapeka Kawakawa - Greenstone Bat Pendant Hei Matau It measures 150mm by 33mmThe name pekapeka comes from the native bat of Aotearoa. With eyes in both the physical and spiritual realms, the pekapeka is a formidable kaitiaki (protector). Worn on special occasions, it is carved as twin outward facing manaia (guardians) connected by a single body. It is said that Mui tikitiki a Taranga, the great trickster, would take on the form of the pekapeka. This pekapeka was carved by Jeremy Walsh from kawakawa pounamu sourced from Arahura
