SAPIENT - a bold and beautiful toki, earthy green New Zealand jade.
SAPIENT - to possess or express great wisdom
This is a large and solid piece, carved to represent the adze - it is a very fitting representation and a great tribute to a tool that played a central role in survival.
This is a pendant that will enjoy every adventure with you, hold those memories and carry them to your following generation - a piece for more than a lifetime!
SAPIENT has been polished to a soft sheen - this finish allows the subtle changes in the stone to appear.
This stone reveals a back story for all to see - we have left the stone in its raw beauty as recognition of the scars a life well lived can leave. You can contribute to its future legend!
As an adornment, the Toki, or Adze, is said to bring courage and strength in times of adversity. It is a symbol of courage and strength in times of adversity and is often worn by Maori elders as a symbol of power, wisdom and authority.
Maori 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.
SAPIENT is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
Also included, one of our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Toki design.
Shipping with Express Courier is included in the price.
