NZ Bone Plain Toki (Adze) Pendant - Large

Bone Toki (Adze) Pendant – Strength, Courage & Leadership

Traditionally worn by Māori as a symbol of mana (prestige) and authority, the Toki (adze) represents strength, determination, and leadership. Once a tool used in carving and building, the toki has evolved into a powerful taonga (treasure) worn to embody hard work, resilience, and the ability to shape one’s future.

Hand-carved from natural bone, this pendant honours Māori tradition while carrying timeless meaning for those who value inner strength and purposeful living.
Please note: Each pendant is individually handcrafted, so subtle variations in tone and detail add to its unique character.

• Avoid impact – While durable, natural materials can still chip or break.

• Store safely – Keep your taonga in a soft pouch when not in use.

• Respect its spirit – Many pieces carry cultural and spiritual significance. Gift or wear them with intention and aroha.

With care and respect, your taonga will remain a lasting symbol of protection, strength, and connection
