Toki with Patapata Knotching

Toki with Patapata Knotching  | Karaitiana Akroyd

This Pounamu Toki by Karaitiana Akroyd is a solid and powerful piece that balances traditional strength with fine, detailed craftsmanship.

The Toki (adze) shape is a deeply significant symbol of courage, authority, and the determination needed to overcome life's challenges.

What makes this particular taonga stand out is the delicate Patapata (notched) carving along the sides, adding a tactile texture that honors ancient carving traditions.

The stone is a vibrant, mossy green with warm golden inclusions, giving it a natural, weathered look that feels connected to the riverbed it came from.

It is suspended from a sturdy, hand-braided dark brown cord, making it a reliable and grounding companion for daily wear.

Take up this symbol of strength and let it guide you through your own path.
