WALL HANGING TOKI
A spectacular large Toki sculpture for your wall, carved by Kerry Thompson.
This is a wonderful, traditional artwork carved in New Zealand Argillite - known locally as Pākohe. The detail in this piece is beautiful - kowhaiwhai designs carved into the front face, a black cord binding at the head of the blade and a hand woven hemp cord to suspend this sculpture from your wall.
This is a solid piece, weighing in at 782 grams. - ONE ONLY
Kerry has used a dual polish - parts a high shine and parts a soft matte - this draws out the carved design, and also gives the stone a remarkable contrast. When the light strikes the stone the design is beautifully highlighted in myriad ways.
What a superb sculptural piece by a Master carver and artist. A tactile work of art!
The Toki: Traditionally, the toki is worn to provide strength and courage to assist through life's challenges. We will include our 'Kia Ora' card, which explains the meaning behind the Toki design. If you have any questions please email Bo: bo@nzpacific.com
