Niho Taa (Thorn necklace)

Designed in the shape of a thorn, this beautiful pendant displays an ancient Marquesan symbol “etua” (divinity) in the center that was in the past falsely re-named into Marquesan cross "peka" by the missionaries. 

The placement of Niho Taa (Thorn necklace in Marquesan language) around the neck is considered paramount in protecting the most vulnerable part of the body from injury and it combines the properties of both an amulet and a talisman into one piece. 

Niho Taa comes with an adjustable black line.
