TWILIGHT ZONE

TWILIGHT ZONE - hand carved, whalebone Toki. 

Carved from the rib of a whale that beached on the northern shores in New Zealand. A beautifully grained piece - plenty of character but tight enough to take on a good polish. Displaying a great mix of the characteristic gnarly grain and a smooth polish, this will be a beautiful toki to wear. 

TWILIGHT ZONE is bound with a Tan cord and binding on the head of the toki. The cord can be adjusted so you can position the pendant where it suits you best.

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. They were used to carve ocean-going waka (sea canoes) and to build central meeting houses so they played a central role in traditional life of māori.

The toki is traditionally worn for strength and courage - to assist through life's challenges.

TWILIGHT ZONE is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.

We also include one of our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Toki design.
