About Hei-Tiki: The Tiki is a very ancient symbol considered to be the most popular piece of Maori jewelry, yet it is by far the least understood, so there are numerous legends about its meaning. The Tiki is a talisman to the Maori people, and has been regarded as a unisex symbol of good luck since ancient times. Carved into various natural materials, the most valuable tiki's were carved from pounamu, aka "greenstone" (a hard, durable, and highly valued nephrite jade from the South Island of New Zealand), which were handed down through the generations as Taonga (treasured) possessions. It has been suggested that the tiki is the myth form of the first man, created by Tane. However, some doubt this, as the hei-tiki appears to be either female, or sexless. The Maori believe the Tiki represents a fetus (an unborn human embryo). The hei-tiki looks like a distorted human figure sitting cross-legged, its large head tilted to one side. Regardless, some continue to believe Tiki came from the stars and that he was the first man of the Maori world. Tiki is also often depicted with webbed-feet which suggest a strong link to creatures of the sea. Tiki, during ancient times, was respected as the teacher of all things and the wearers of this symbol are therefore assumed to possess clarity of thought, be perceptive, be loyal, and have a great inner knowledge; the wearer’s strength is their character. The Tiki is regarded as a powerful good luck symbol when worn, and in some areas is also regarded as a fertility and growth symbol. In Maori, the words hei (something worn around the neck) and tiki (carved figure, image, neck ornament carved in an abstract form of a human) combine to create this Maori Hei-Tiki "Good Luck, Fertility" Tahei (necklace adornment). Typical hei-tiki have a large, angled rounded or pointed head, usually just slightly less then half of the total length and with the mouth on either the left or right side. Sometimes, the eyes were inserted with paua abalone shells. Usually, the remainder of the body featured a relatively large abdomen and the legs in a squatting position, with the heels together and both hands resting on the thighs. Each body part is identified with a meaning. Where the head is tilted, the head is thinking; where the hand is, is where the strength is; where the mouth is, the mouth has the ability to communicate; where the heart is, there is pure love; and where the loins is, the loins offer fertility. In ancient times, Hei tiki were usually worn by women. Today, it is worn as a good-luck charm by both sexes. - Design: Maori Hei-Tiki (Large-Extra Large); Cutout, Whole-Shaped Vertical Design, Master Hand-Carved Nephrite Jade Gemstone, Dome-Shaped Facing Front/Flat Reverse, Hand-Cut and Hand-Shaped Design, Unisex Design, 100% Pure Natural Nephrite Jade (Untreated), Durable Waxed Nylon Brown Cord, Sliding Knot Closure, (2) Adjustable Round Nephrite Ball Length Adjusters and (1) Nephrite Ball Accent Bead, Hand Surface-Polished Nephrite Jade, High Polish Nephrite Jade Finish. - Color/s: Medium to Medium-Dark Spinach Green With Subtle Natural Lighter to Darker Patches, Mottled Black Spotted Chromite Inclusions and Whitish Streaks of Parallel Tremolite Crystals, Brown Cord. - Measures: Overall Approx.
