NZ Bone carvings and artwork have a very special feel about them, unlike anything else you will ever experience. Their milky white appearance and soft flowing lines are just the start. Over a period of time bone carvings absorb oils from your skin and change colour to a very light honey gold. New Zealand's Maori believe this to be the carving taking on some of your spirituality or essence and thus truly becoming a part of the wearer.
Hand carved Bone, Jade, Wood & Pearl shell pendants, carvings, gifts & art from NZ such as the Tiki are considered a good luck charm when worn and in some regions is also regarded as a fertility symbol. Hei Tiki are often referred to as 'Tiki ', as 'Hei' means to wear around ones neck.
Every NZ Bone Carving purchased through NZ Pacific is presented with a braided or platted waxed braid cord, along with native flax bag woven to show the traditional styling and beauty of the carving.
Also supplied is an attractive information sheet telling the meaning of the particular NZ Bone Carving.
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.
