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.

This is a set full of meaning and depth. It was commissioned by the Mum who has recently received a terminal cancer diagnosis! Devastating! She wanted…
