DEEP WATER

DEEP WATER - Carved from New Zealand Totoweka Jade (Pounamu)

A large Toki by Kerry Thompson. This is a lovely symbolic toki carved from a rare New Zealand totoweka stone. Kerry has etched four hammerhead shark designs into the front face - two descending and two ascending - which lends this piece special significance.

A jade hammerhead design toki (pendant) holds special significance due to its rich cultural and spiritual symbolism. Jade, or pounamu in Māori culture, is revered as a sacred stone that embodies strength, protection, and connection to the earth and ancestors.

The hammerhead shark, or mango, is a powerful symbol of determination, adaptability, and leadership, often associated with guardianship and guidance.

When combined, the jade hammerhead toki represents not only physical and spiritual strength but also a deep respect for nature and heritage. Wearing this pendant serves as a reminder of resilience, cultural identity, and the wearer’s connection to their roots, making it a cherished and meaningful piece of jewelry.

Carved with Kerry's exceptional attention to detail, this is a faultless carving. DEEP WATER is a carved artwork that we think will be passed down through generations - and become a very meaningful heirloom.

We think this would make a stand out gift for someone who leads the family with integrity and pride.
