This ocean design represents connection to water. The Maori believe that water is the carrier of spirits; and the ocean is regarded as a place with with great mana (spirit and strength). In this sense, water also has a healing energy which is reflected in this carving.
Like most of my carvings, this shape is carved in the round, and can be worn with either side facing out.
