Greenstone Toki Pendant Bound 5.2cm

Wedge-shaped New Zealand greenstone toki (2cm wide at the top, 25cm wide at bottom and 5.2cm in length) bound with black cord.

Made from genuine New Zealand Pounamu, or greenstone, sourced and hand-carved in Aotearoa New Zealand. Pounamu is of great cultural significance for Maori and is believed to enhance the mana, or prestige, of its possessor. When received as a gift, Pounamu is said to gain value as a special treasure.  

The "Toki" is a symbol of courage and strength in time of adversity. The toki (adze) was a chisel tool used by Maori to carve everything from great waka (canoes) to the intricate designs found in marae (meeting houses).
