Hei toki in Pounamu
This toki has some lovely patterns of colour swirling through it. You’ll want to hold it up to the light so you can have a good look ‘inside’ the pounamu, It’s rather mesmerising.
Toki were one of the most important tools for Māori and were used for any number of everyday jobs such as cutting down trees, carving out waka, digging ground, Moa hunting and food preparations.
The Toki had to be strong to endure the cutting and scraping motions of its use it became a symbol of strength(particularly in times of adversity), courage and fortitude. Toki were also worn by elders as a symbol of power, wisdom and authority.
This is a gorgeous wee toki. The perfect size for your tamariki, but looks equally at home on an adult sized human. A lovely wee gift to give someone strength and courage or to acknowledge their wisdom and leadership skills.
