Handmade and carved by Dion this Large 10cm x 3cm Pounamu Toki is strung on black adjustable plaited necklace. 
 
The toki was a crucial tool for Māori, used to carve canoes, meeting houses, and other essential structures. Its shape, often with a pounamu blade and wooden handle, reflects its practical function, but it also holds deep spiritual meaning. 
The toki represents strength, courage, determination, and leadership. 
Its use by Māori elders and chiefs signifies their authority and wisdom. Pounamu is highly prized by Māori and considered sacred, connected to the natural world and spiritual beliefs. 
Toki pendants are often worn as a symbol of these qualities and may be gifted on important occasions to convey honor and respect. 
Comes packaged in a black keepsake box.
