CREATOR'S SPARK
A hand carved tiki pendant made from Deer Antler! A complex and beautifully carved rendition of the tiki.
CREATOR'S SPARK is a medium-sized, expressive carving, a beautiful piece of hand made art to wear!
The Tiki is a very ancient symbol and, while quickly recognised, is by far the least understood of traditional carved designs. There are a number of legends in relation to its meaning. Some say the Tiki came from the stars and that he was the first man of the world. Other theories suggest that tiki represents the human embryo - forming life. He is believed to have a strong link to the sea - often being depicted with webbed feet.
The inlaid eyes are made from our beautiful and richly coloured cold water Pāua Shell. This is an enchanting and original piece of art.
Hei-Tiki: The tiki is a well recognised symbol in Maori culture, but also has historical roots in Hawaiian and wider Polynesian cultures. It is believed to symbolise fertility, and was often worn by women as a fertilising symbol. Its form is believed to represent a human embryo, often carved with the hands placed on the loins in what is believed to be a direct reference to fertility.
