A fantastic Toki from a beautiful piece of Kawakawa Pounamu. The brilliant colour of this piece is amazing and the multiple Korus etched into this impressive piece adds to it being a wonderful taonga.
Toki - Adze
– The Toki had much meaning for Māori, fashioned from stone or greenstone it was an essential tool for survival and day to day life for Māori. That is the reason Māori attribute the spiritual meaning of strength and power to the Toki. This symbol represents Mana, determination, control, strength, focus and honour.
Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. It comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used for jewellery purposes.
