Hei Tiki Totoweka- Greenstone Tiki Pendant
Épuisé
Hei tiki represent the form of the first human. When worn, they provide a tangible link to the tūpuna (ancestors) that brought us into this world and guide us forward. Traditionally worn by Māori as ornaments of respect and status, they are a prestigious gift to be handed down as taonga (treasure) through the generations carrying the wisdom and mana of those who wore them previously.
This side-hung hei tiki was carved by Paul Anderson from totoweka pounamu sourced from Big Bay of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 70mm by 50mm, has a matt finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
