Tiki Page - A guide to the New Zealand Maori jade pendants. Tiki or heitiki are traditional ornaments created by Maori, the Polynesian first settlers of New Zealand.
The material they are most commonly made from is nephrite, a stone related to jade, found in several places in New Zealand's South Island. It is called pounamu in Maori, greenstone in common New Zealand English. The Maori name for the South Island, Te Wai Pounamu, refers to the stone. There are traditional accounts for the creation of the stone which relate it to the children of Tangaroa. It is a very hard stone and is laborious to work, especially so with the basic grinding tools available to the Neolithic Maori.
You can see some portraits of 19th century Maori wearing tiki here. The stone is both hard and tough and made good edge tools. It is also a beautiful stone - classed as semi-precious - and quite variable as to this character within and between sources (e.g.) The name tiki (penis) is one which is applied to stone statues elsewhere in Polynesia.
