Toki Kahurangi Pendant

Toki Kahurangi Pendant | Luke Leaf

This beautiful Pounamu Toki is an 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 Kahurangi pounamu found in Arahura River on the West Coast of the South Island, 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. 

Based in Queenstown, Aotearoa, Luke Leaf creates stunning pounamu carvings which are inspired by natural organic forms, and a mix of both modern and contemporary designs.

This pendant comes bound on an adjustable cord which enables an optimal length to be chosen.
