Kina or the common sea urchin or sea egg (Evechinus chloroticus) is the best-known species – commercially valuable and considered a delicacy by Māori. Resembling a curled-up green hedgehog, kina has a nearly spherical shell (or test) protecting its internal organs. Projecting from the shell are long and short movable spines and tube feet. Its mouth, on the underside, contains a five-sided limy structure known as Aristotle’s lantern. This acts like a set of jaws and teeth, grinding up food into digestible pellets.Source: Te Ara >>Size of the ceramic kina decoration:Diameter: 6.5cm (2.56\")Thickness: 1cm (0.39\")", "product_order": "0", "product_icon": "\/media\/commerce_products\/215\/keriblue_kina1.webp", "product_brand_id": "1", "product_price": "17.39", "product_price_ex_tax": 17.391304347826, "product_price_local_tax": "17.39", "product_created_datetime": "2024-12-10 02:44:46", "product_code": "keriblue_kina01", "product_barcode": null, "product_is_unorderable": "0", "product_is_shipping_required": "1", "product_inventory_level": "0", "product_uri": "\/products\/aotearoa-round-ceramic-kina-decoration-keriblue_kina01\/" }, { "product_id": "214", "product_title": "Round ceramic mere decoration", "product_content": "## Round ceramic mere decoration The mere in this tile is embossed and makes it a lovely tactile little gift.
