Tiki was a very respected symbol, seen as the teacher of all things. The wearer of this bone carving is therefore seen to possess clarity of thought, strength of character, loyalty, and great inner knowledge. The bone carvings based on Maori designs, in particular, have special significance in New Zealand.
It is believed that bone carvings worn with respect or given and received with love, take on part of the spirit of those who wear or handle it. It becomes a spiritual link between people spanning time & distance. A carving that has been worn by family or tribal members over many generations contains the spirit of all of those people and is truly a powerful and great treasure.
