With graceful lines and rich symbolism, "Veiqia" pays tribute to a practice nearly lost but never forgotten—an emblem of Indigenous beauty, sovereignty, and cultural memory. 🖤 Ideal for collectors of Polynesian and Melanesian art, or those inspired by the strength of ancestral traditions and feminine legacy.
