JOURNEY OF OUR ANCESTORS
Carved from New Zealand Flower Jade (Pounamu)
JOURNEY OF OUR ANCESTORS are large Toki by Kerry Thompson. These are exceptional in every sense - beautifully designed and flawlessly carved, and crafted from beautiful New Zealand pounamu.
JOURNEY OF OUR ANCESTORS are a carved artwork that we think will be passed down through generations - worn and loved - a very meaningful heirloom.
We think this would make a stand out gift for someone who leads the family with integrity and pride.
The Jade Kerry has used is exquisite! A crescendo of orange and green with fragments of scattered black inclusions, all adding to the mystery and beauty of these toki!
We have made a video which shows these pieces slowly revolving - first the larger piece, then the more slender version. Take a moment to watch this, it is quite revealing.
The toki, or adze, is a symbol of strength. The adze was a key survival tool, so the owner of a good one was believed to be strong and powerful ....and these are great pieces!
These beautiful Toki have Koru carved into their face - these symbolise fresh beginnings, a new start - the perfect piece for someone taking on new challenges
Traditionally, the toki is worn to provide strength and courage to assist through life's challenges, and the koru is a symbol of rebirth, growth and new beginnings.
PLEASE USE THE DROP-DOWN MENU TO SELECT THE PIECE YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE - use the cord colour as your guide.
We include our 'Kia Ora' cards explaining the meaning behind both the Toki and Koru design.
