NZ Greenstone Toki with Koru Inlay Pendant.
This design represents the Toki or Adze ("adz" in American English) which was used to carve the great canoes and also to cut and work timber for the fortresses or Pahs in which the Maori lived.
It was such an important tool in Maori life that it became regarded as a symbol of power, authority and good character.
It is also the mark of the craftsman and artist.
The Koru is representative of a new fern leaf unfurling; symbolising new life, growth, strength and peace.
It is a widely recognised symbol of New Zealand, a land of ferns.
Size 70mm.
We photograph each piece but a slight colour variation may occur.
