Tiki bone carvings

In Polynesian culture, the tiki represents the connection between man and nature, between heaven and earth, and symbolises creation and life itself

It is believed that a carving which is worn with respect or given and received with love, takes on part of the spirit of those who wear or handle it. In this way it becomes a spiritual link between people spanning time and distance. A carving that has been worn by family or tribal members over many generations contains the spirit of all of those people and is truly a great and powerful treasure.
