NZ Fossilised Wood Medium Toki Pendant (AM119)
Stunning New Zealand Fossilised Wood carved into a lovely Toki by Dean Taylor.
Traditionally Toki was used by Māori to cut and work timber for the meeting houses and carvings. Because of the determination, control and strength required to skilfully use the Toki it became a symbol of ability, power and authority. Ceremonial Toki were traditionally worn by Māori elders and Chiefs to signify leadership qualities. May this Toki bring the wearer strength, courage and inspiration on their journey in life.
Fossilised Wood is thought to be a stone which helps you connect strongly with the Earth keeping you strong, grounded and centered. As a Taonga -meaning treasured, and it should be worn with respect and pride.

BEHIND KORU
The Koru symbolises an unfurling fern frond, full of new life and fresh beginnings. It reflects openness to infinite possibilities.
This Koru was carved to symbolise unity within whanau.
I was blown away by the service, quality and affordability. Louise was very helpful and accomodating and Dean is a great carver, clearly plenty of skill and pride goes into his work. Would highly recommend!
