Our Pekapepa trinket box has been delicately hand thrown and carved from a beautiful black stoneware clay..
This precious Pekapeka-tou-roa (NZ Long tailed bat) trinket box - inspired by that which is around it and formed by human touch. Steeped in Māori mythology, this tiny and endangered bat holds a special place in the hearts of the people. Often seen as a symbol of guidance and protection. Legend has it that Pekapeka was once a beautiful maiden who lived in a lush forest. She was known for her kindness and deep connection to nature. One day, while exploring the woods, she came across a wounded bird. Without hesitation, she nursed it back to health. Grateful for her compassion, the bird revealed itself to be a powerful spirit. As a gift for her kindness, it transformed her into the Pekapeka, granting her the ability to fly and watch over the forest and its inhabitants at night. Serving as a reminder of the importance of kindness and the interconnectedness of all living beings………
