Crossover Pounamu Toki

Crossover Pounamu Toki | Dean Marjoribanks

This beautiful Crossover Pounamu Toki by amazing carver, Dean Marjoribanks is a fine example of tāonga, which are objects of cultural and spiritual significance to Māori people.

Toki are adzes, traditionally used for woodworking, but they also hold symbolic meaning. They represent strength, determination, and resourcefulness, qualities that were essential for survival in pre-colonial New Zealand.

This particular toki is made from pounamu, a type of greenstone that is highly prized for its beauty and durability. Pounamu is also considered sacred to Māori, and it is often used to create taonga. The toki is carved with a traditional Māori design, which adds to its spiritual significance.

This toki comes on an adjustable cord which enables the wearer to choose their optimal length.
