THE BIG DRY is a larger version of our popular Warrior toki pendant - a visually powerful piece, softened a little with the koru carved into the lower third of the blade.
THE BIG DRY - this piece is carved from New Zealand Jade, a gorgeous piece of stone with a ton of character.
We have added a hand plaited Khaki Green adjustable cord with a traditional Olive coloured lashing.
This is a magnificent piece - a deep, deep green in the lower half, ascending into a beautiful pale, mottled mint green toward the top of the blade. These colours are beautifully offset with the olive lashing - grass over fertile, rich land...
THE BIG DRY is finished in a satin matte polish which promotes the stone's beautiful colours.
The Koru heart is all about new beginnings - the courage to successfully deal with anything the future has in store for you.
The adze was a key survival tool, so the owner of a good one was believed to be strong and powerful ....and this is a good one!
Traditionally, the toki is worn to provide strength and courage to assist through life's challenges, and the koru is a symbol of rebirth, growth and new beginnings.
Shipping with Express Courier is included in the price.
We include our 'Kia Ora' cards explaining the meaning behind both the Toki and Koru designs.
