This beautiful 8.3 inch mere is carved from Douglas Creek Pounamu with a rimu display stand.
Mere were originally a weapon used by warriors in hand-to-hand combat. Often passed down through generations, they were thought to embody the spirits of previous owners and seen as the ultimate symbol of strength, mana (authority), and status.
Mere dimensions - (8.3 inches) 211mm x 69mm x 16mm tapered down.
Hand carved by Brittany Lissington.
