KŌHATU KAHA

KŌHATU KAHA - Strong Stone

An exquisite jade carving by Reuben Tipene, a Māori artist and carver, who honours the ancient art while tastefully incorporating his life experiences into his work.

Carved from New Zealand Kawakawa Pounamu, Jade.

KŌHATU KAHA is a striking medium-sized toki that commands attention. It has a bold presence, intricate koru carvings, and the deep, rich hues emblematic of New Zealand Kawakawa jade. 

The koru engravings on the front face symbolise new beginnings, growth, and the endless cycles of life - making this pendant a powerful emblem for those embracing new adventures.

A perfect wedding or anniversary gift, it carries the spirit of Aotearoa, allowing its wearer to hold a piece of New Zealand close to their heart.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE TOKI'S MEANING AND SIGNIFICANCE...

The toki, or adze, is a symbol of strength - the adze was a key survival tool, used to build, hunt and defend. 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.

KŌHATU KAHA is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.

We include our 'Kia Ora' cards explaining the meaning behind both the Toki and Koru design.

Delivery to you with Express Courier is included in the price.
