Toki – Fierce Lion
This toki is for a much loved man in a family. It was designed with mana and power in mind.
The Lions head is to symbolise fearlessness, and urge to protect, loyalty, and leadership. It also connects this man with his home country, Sri Lanka, and so connects where he is from and where he is now.
There is also a beautiful double koru incorporated into the design to represent life together for him and his family.
All the design is on the back so will be close his heart, the front of the toki is simple and shows off the gorgeous patterning and character of this pounamu.
You can see where this toki started with the design concept on paper and the pounamu that was chosen to make this become a reality.
