Bone Pendant Toki

$196.00
Code:AMANDATHOMPSON1
This stunning Toki Bone pendant has been carved by Amanda Thompson (Nga Puhi). The intricate Hammerhead design is first laser-cut onto the bone, then skillfully enhanced using a traditional tea-staining method to darken the engraved areas. It is hung on an adjustable, plaited wax cord.

In Māori culture, the hammerhead shark (mangōpare) symbolises strength, courage, tenacity, and leadership. It represents a fighting spirit, determination, and resilience, as the shark must constantly swim to survive.

The Hei Toki Blade is a culturally significant symbol within the Māori culture, representing courage and strength, particularly in times of difficulty. These blades were carved to be used as chisel tools for the practice of Whakairo (traditional wood carving), to craft Marae (meeting houses) and Waka (canoes). Hei Toki pendants were also worn by Māori elders to symbolise power, wisdom and authority.
