This bone carving earring is a beautiful piece of Māori jewelry. This design shows a Tiki face. The area above the Tiki has been stained to add contrast and another layer of beauty. Features pāua shell accents as the eyes of the Tiki. These Māori earrings have been handcrafted from beef bone. Each carving is supplied in a cellophane sleeve. Each piece is individually carved so slight variations can occur.

The Adze or Toki symbolizes strength as it represents the traditional Māori tool, whose blade had to be strong so as not to break when used. 

The Tiki represents the human form and one's ancestors. Traditionally passed from parent to child or used for protection and good luck.
