Punga Pipiwharauroa Inanga - Greenstone Anchor Pendant intricate Elevate your look with thisThe anchor of a traditional Mori waka (canoe) is called a punga, which refers to a heavy carved or shaped stone anchor tied with flax cordage via holes, grooves or enclosed in woven baskets. The punga whakawhenua is the main anchor placed at the stern of the voyaging waka (canoe). The punga krewa, which is the smaller anchor would be used at the bow to steady the vessel in rough seas.
