Toki Rangatira
I am proud of this toki, it is unique, has a meaningful kaupapa, and it will be highly valued.
This is a stunning piece of Marsden Flower Jade, with the characteristic deep greens and the orange ‘flower’ at the end. The rough that was decided to be left on give a hint of what this was before carving. It also holds the symbolism of knowing who you are, where you are going, and where we came from.
This toki is for a great leader, to acknowledge his reliable leadership and his ability to grow others. It recognizes his empathetic and kind style of leadership which places people at the heart of it.
