Niho Kuri (Dog's Tooth Necklace)

Niho Kuri Māori Necklace

Handcrafted with care, this Niho Kuri necklace features two dog’s tooth replicas bound on a 24-strand, 3-plait wax cord, honoring traditional Māori lashing techniques. Dog’s teeth symbolize prestige, strength, and protection, while the bound design represents balance, resilience, and connection to ancestors and the natural world.
