Raukaraka Wide Toki

The Hei Toki is a traditional Maori symbol that represents strength, courage, and determination. The toki, or adze, was traditionally used by Maori as a tool for carving and shaping wood, bone, and stone. In Maori culture, the Hei Toki is a treasured item that is passed down through generations and is often worn as a statement of personal identity and connection to one’s heritage. It is also believed to have spiritual significance, with the adze shape symbolizing the ability to cut through obstacles and reach one’s goals.
