An original 'NZ Pacific' Toki Pendant!
This is a lovely bone carving with some beautiful detail and depth to it. A traditional Toki with our beautiful logo and custom cords and bindings. This piece represents New Zealand's mountains and our surrounding oceans - and underpins our 'Gifts from the Land'!
A symbol of courage and strength in times of adversity, toki were worn by Māori elders as a symbol of power, wisdom and authority.
We have two options available; please use the drop-down menu to make your selection.
One is a plain natural bone toki and the other we have added a little Pacific panache and given the toki a light blue stain to transport you to our corner of the world.
Traditionally people from the Pacific used the toki to build fortresses and waka - ocean going canoes. It is a symbol of authority and power and the wearer is believed to be a person of good character.
Māori believe that carvings carry the spirit of those who wear them, becoming an important family Taonga (treasure) passed on to future generations of the family as an heirloom.
NZ PACIFIC TOKI is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch and delivery is included in the price.
We will also include one of our 'Kia Ora' cards which explain the meaning behind the Toki design.
