Crafted from authentic New Zealand Rimu wood, this Hei Toki adze styled pendant embodies the rich cultural heritage and spiritual essence of the Māori people. The Hei Toki shape holds profound significance in Māori culture, symbolizing strength, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the warrior. Traditionally used as a tool for carving, the adze represents the ability to shape one's destiny and carve out a path of purpose and meaning. In Māori mythology, wood is revered as a sacred material, connecting the physical world with the realm of the ancestors and nature spirits. Rimu wood, with its warm hues and natural beauty, carries the essence of the forest and the wisdom of generations past.
Each pendant is meticulously handcrafted, showcasing the natural grain and texture of the Rimu wood. As you wear this piece, you are reminded of the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of honoring the land and its resources. The Koru spiral detail, intricately carved into the pendant, represents growth, renewal, and the eternal cycle of life. It symbolizes the unfurling fern frond, a potent metaphor for new beginnings and spiritual awakening.
Wearing this pendant is more than just adorning oneself with a piece of jewelry; it is a sacred gesture, a symbol of respect for the land, the culture, and the enduring spirit of the Māori people. Let it serve as a reminder of your connection to the natural world and the wisdom of the ancestors, guiding you on your journey with strength, courage, and grace.
Local Beauty, Local Care: As advocates of sustainability and community, we take pride in our commitment to local artisans. To complement the linseed oil finish, we adorn our pendants with a coating of Brays Bees cream polish, thoughtfully created by nearby beekeepers. This local touch not only enriches the wood's natural allure but also supports local businesses, creating a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and care.
