Large Marsden Flower Jade Hei Teko Teko Pendant
This wonderful one off pendant is very large and one of the most impressive pieces we have come across. It features a Hei Teko Teko design in a mask style. The pendant is suspended off a waxed plaited traditional cord which is thread through a very discreet suspension hole. The pendant is carved from a beautiful Marsden Flower Jade, the piece of Marsden greenstone has fantastic colours and gradients from yellow to dark green.
This pendant is a one off carving and will not be available again.
This amazing pendant was hand carved on the west coast of New Zealand in Hokitika by master carver Glen Surgenor. Glen Surgenor has been carving greenstone for over 25 years. Glen uses traditional methods when carving, using traditional sand stone rubbing methods and hand sanding to a matte/satin sheen. This piece has a great antique look and nice artefact feel.
The pendant is very large and chunky and would not be suitable for a slight person, it measures 95mm (3.75 inches) long, 80mm (3.2 inches) wide and 10mm (0.4 inches) deep. The pendant comes on a waxed plaited black adjustable cord. The piece comes in a velvet pouch with a meaning card.
Hei Teko teko
is a Maori language term for a carved human form (either the whole body or head), either freestanding or attached to the gable of a whare (house). Tekoteko are often carved in a defiant stance with a protruding tongue to ward off intruders.
Marsden Flower Jade
The piece is carved from Marsden Flower Jade / Greenstone, which is also known as Flower Jade or Marsden stone. This greenstone features orange, yellow and brown markings which combine with the green colours to produce beautiful patterns in the stone.
