The Toki design originates from the axe head which was used to chip, carve and hollow out wood & sometimes used as a weapon.

Representing strength, determination and courage in times of adversity. To wear a Toki is a great honour and was traditionally worn by Maori elders.

New Zealand Greenstone sourced from the Rimu area, just south of Hokitika on the West Coast of the South Island. Rimu emerged as a gold mining settlement in the late 19th Century and is now the source of some of the most beautiful Pounamu we see today. Rimu Greenstone is known for its magnificently rich, dark green colouring. These taonga are expertly hand carved by Master Carver Barry Dash in Greymouth, South Island.

Approximate measurements - 3cm bottom width x 12.5cm in length.

Adjustable neck cord. Presented in a flax kete.

Made from NZ Greenstone and carved in Aotearoa New Zealand.
