Pounamu Hei Toki
Mana in a modern world
Pounamu has always been given and worn as a sign of mana or prestige. When formed as a toki (adze-head) that meaning is amplified. This form by master carver Michael Matchitt takes on contemporary lines with a central feature - a void. He aha te ngako? What is the essence? What lies within? Only the wearer will know.

Pakohe Hei Toki
Abundance and peace
As a traditional tool, the toki or adze head was relied on for survival. With an adze, a family could have shelter and food. And so this hand-carved Michael Matchitt piece invites abundance into the life of the wearer. Pakohe sourced from Ōraka looking across Foveaux Straight.
