Jade Toki Pendant | Maori Style

This Jade Toki Pendant is hand carved and traditionally used by the Maori people for intricate canoe and meeting house carvings. It symbolizes qualities of Wisdom, Courage and Strength. Carefully crafted from the stunning stone known as Jade, featuring a unique blend of green, black, gold, and black flecks.

This design represents the Adze which was used to carve the great canoes and also to cut and work timber for the fortresses or Pahs in which the Maori lived. It was such an important tool in Maori life that it became regarded as a symbol of power, authority and good character. It is also the mark of the craftsman and artist bringing together head, hand and heart.
