Code:KAWA095

This beautiful pounamu pendant has been hand carved by Nick from Kawakawa Stone.

The Hei Toki Blade is a culturally significant symbol within the Māori culture, representing courage and strength, particularly in times of difficulty. These blades were carved to be used as chisel tools for the practice of Whakairo (traditional wood carving), to craft Marae (meeting houses) and Waka (canoes). Hei Toki pendants were also worn by Māori elders to symbolise power, wisdom and authority.

The koru, or spiral, is a form represented through all of nature throughout the world. Traditionally, in New Zealand, this symbol is used as the fundamental pattern in much of the structures and art that are found throughout the country.

The unfurling frond symbolises new or fresh life. It is seen as a symbol depicting the start of a time or an era, a new relationship, or a new direction in life. It can be used as an element in a larger work or the soul form of the intricate spiral itself.
