Description
Maori Ceremonial Adze - Made out of Matai Wood and BC Greenstone used.
Size: 380mm x 180mm x 40mm Stand 445mm x 103mm x 140mm.
The toki is an adze used for carving and construction. The more elaborate ones were ceremonial and often had a greenstone blade. Ceremonial toki were mainly used for the first and last cuts in construction of meeting houses and war canoes. The head on the end of the handle represents a guardian figure that is always watching the back of the rightful owner. The principal figure traditionally represents an ancestor figure.
