Pounamu Hei Tiki

Pounamu Hei Tiki  | Deane Moreton

In this exquisite Hei Tiki, Deane Moreton showcases a masterful command of Pounamu (New Zealand greenstone). Carved with fluid, rounded contours, the piece exudes a sense of ancestral presence and protective energy.

The Hei Tiki is a revered symbol of fertility, character, and the first man in Māori mythology.

This particular carving is elevated by iridescent Pāua shell eyes featuring red centers, which add a piercing, lifelike intensity to the face.

The stone's deep, mossy green hue speaks to the heritage of the land and the longevity of the spirit.

Designed for versatility, this piece functions as both a significant sculptural object when resting on its native timber base and a powerful personal talisman when worn.
