"whalerider" remains one of my favorite movies to this day. the maori still collect whale bones from the shore of aotearoa. it's funny some times (not in the "ha, ha" way) that it's legal to possess whale ivory, but not to sell it as long as you're a citizen. you must gift it. some day i'd like to carve some in a great homage. this pendant has paua inlays and a hand plaited cord to the length specified by the honored recipient. it will also have a hand carved, bone toggle. price is $65US. thanks for looking.
