Description:
Silver Plated Mãori Toki pendant
Size (mm): 100H x 27W
Handmade from brass then Silver plated. We decided to make these pendants to show a different way to wear a Toki. Being a Toki it is bound
at the top like a traditional carving but the base has
been made from brass. The brass gives this piece a good feeling as it has weight. The wax cord has slip knots to allow you to set the height
at which you wish to wear the pendant.
Comes in a display box.
The Silver Plated Māori Adze Pendant is a contemporary piece inspired by the traditional toki (adze), an important tool used by Māori ancestors. Beyond its practical use, the toki came to symbolise strength, determination, and leadership, and was often worn by respected chiefs as a sign of authority and mana (prestige).
This pendant is beautifully crafted with a polished silver-plated finish, creating a sleek and modern look while honouring cultural tradition. Lightweight and versatile, it can be worn daily or kept for special occasions, making it a meaningful taonga (treasure) for yourself or as a gift.
