Description
The New Zealand Maori Tiki or Hei Tiki is a very ancient symbol and is by far the least understood so there are a number of legends about its meaning. Tiki were respected as the teacher of all things and the wearer of this symbol is therefore seen to possess clarity of thought, loyalty, great inner knowledge and strength of character.
From the time of early encounters with explorers Hei Tiki have been of interest to Europeans and they
quickly became sought after by explorers and collectors. Subsequent generations working within the
western art tradition have represented hei tiki in a diverse range of media and from distinct perspectives.
The Hei Tiki form has become one of the most potent symbols of Aptearoa New Zealand's Maori culture.
