In the ancient Māori world, the Toki or adze was a vital tool in everyday life. Toki have come to represent the strength and skill of an individual, and the acquisition of knowledge and mana (prestige).
Kokopu comes from the Arahura River on the West Coast between Greymouth and Hokitika. The spots on the stone resemble the patterns on the Kokopu (speckled trout) which is the Maori name for the New Zealand native trout.
This Large Kokopu Hei Toki - New Zealand Jade Adze Pendant is hung by a tan adjustable hand platted cord and measures 9.5 x 3.5 cm.
This piece was hand carved by Malcolm Cox
