New Zealand Flower Jade Bound Toki
The toki (adze) was a chisel tool used by the Māori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) to carve their great canoes and detailing on their meeting houses. It was a key survival tool, so the owner of a good one was believed to be strong and powerful. Toki were worn by Māori elders as a symbol of power, wisdom and authority in times of adversity. Nowadays, the toki is traditionally worn to provide strength and courage to assist through life's challenges.
