Honu (Turtle) Pine Needle Ornament
The Honu, or turtle, is a deeply rooted symbol in Polynesian culture, carrying a powerful and multifaceted meaning. Traditionally, the turtle is an emblem of longevity, wisdom, and resilience. Its connection to the sea offers a symbolism related to journey and exploration, not only in the physical world but also spiritually. Honu is a reminder that every journey in life, although it may be long and full of challenges, is guided by an inner force that allows overcoming difficulties with calmness and wisdom.
The turtle pendant in this ornament also has a subtle nod to the “fish hook” (makau or matau) symbol also prevalent throughout Polynesian culture. Worn as a tattoo or jewelry, it is believed to ensure safe travel over water. The pendant in this ornament is nested amongst a simple dreamweaver and surrounded by coiled pine needles using the swirling wheat stitch. Seven copper beads are placed at the solid wrapped rim. Dimensions: 4.75″ diameter
