Meaning of the Manaia

The Manaia is traditionally depicted with the head of a bird, the body of a man, and the tail of a fish — representing sky, earth, and sea, and the balance between all three realms. The Manaia is considered a carrier of supernatural powers and a guardian spirit, believed to protect the wearer from evil and act as a messenger between the physical and spiritual worlds. It is one of the most revered and spiritually significant shapes in Māori art.
