The meaning
Toki
The toki (adze) stands for strength, courage and determination: a symbol of the tools that shaped a people, often gifted to mark a new venture or achievement.
About this piece
Intricately Carved Bone Bound Toki Pendant With Kowhaiwhai Design
Size (mm): 100 H x 28 W
This bone carving is a beautiful piece of Māori jewelry. The design has been stained to contrast and accentuate the pattern and add another layer of beauty. The binding is tight, which is paramount for a long-lasting Toki. This Māori necklace comes with a black wax cord. The height that the pendant hangs at can be adjusted using the sliding knots. Each piece is individually carved so slight variations can occur.
The Adze or Toki symbolizes strength as it represents the traditional Māori tool, whose blade had to be strong so as not to break when used.
