Description

The Manaia is usually depicted as having the head of a bird and the tail of a fish and the body of a man though they are often depicted as three-fingered, with these digits representing the trinity of birth, life, and death. The Manaia is traditionally believed to be the messenger between the earthly world of mortals and the domain of the spirits, and its symbol is used as a guardian against evil. In this form, it is usually represented in a figure-of-eight shape, the upper half culminating in a bird-like beak. A carved piece (MDF or similar) painted with acrylic This has aged a bit so not in perfect new condition Just adds to the beauty of it There is a slight bow in the piece as well It is designed to be screwed to the wall.
