Toki - Pounamu
This stunning Pounamu Toki is carved from Raukaraka, which is also known as Marsden Flower Jade, lashed with black waxed cord.
Toki are a type of adze and were traditionally made for whakairo or the carving of wood. It is considered a sign of strength and power as the Toki would be used to fell or cut down large trees and hollow out the boughs to create waka and other large wood carvings. Often related to those high in status, mana and authority.
Approximate dimensions: W 30mm x L 80mm
