Once used as a tool by tangata whenua, the toki shape is now considered to symbolise strength, courage and determination. However, this said, I share the thoughts of my kaiako that the wearer will always find and place their own significance on their taonga. This particular piece has been carved out of Kawakawa pounamu, a rich dark green stone that gets its name from the kawakawa leaf or pepper tree.

All taonga I carve comes with a 100% organic cotton bag to keep it safe when not wearing.

*Note: This pounamu is authentic Aotearoa kōhatu and has been correctly sourced through acclaimed local Ōtautahi artist/carver; Jon Jeet—founder of the community initiative; Tūhono Taonga, Tūhono Tāngata. For every taonga made an additional is carved and gifted to this cause, helping connect the local community through toi Māori.
