Collection: Cords, Bags & Pouches

The Cord, The Presentation Case & The Story

Every pendant piece comes complete with an appropriate sized traditional style waxed braid cord/necklace.

Also supplied is a traditional pacific style woven presentation bag designed to show off the traditional styling and beauty of the carving and an attractive information sheet telling of the meaning of the carving and a little about the Maori people.

If you have a preference for colour, length, or style please let us know when you place your order.

There are five main types of cords:

- Simple slip knot adjustable braid cords in two thicknesses.
- Bound slip knot adjustable braid cords in two thicknesses as fitted on most carvings.
-  Fixed length braid cords with bone toggles. 
- Thicker fixed-length plaited cords with carved bone toggles fitted.
- Thicker plaited adjustable cords as featured on many guest artists' carvings.

In most cases the cord is attached by being looped through the carving so it can be easily removed but on some of the larger or more ornate pieces the cord is actually woven into the carving becoming an integral part of the design.

The cords are roughly 52cm (21 inches) in length when fitted to the carving and in three main colours, Natural/Tan, Black or Red. 
However we can custom make them to any length you need (up to 76cm or 30 inches) at no extra charge.
