[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4145817, member: 2844"]Not necessarily my favourite, but it is much more unusual than the others. It is a Hei Tiki, hand carved in the time before the NZ government support of Maori culture by means of Maori craft centres. Probably 1950s-60s. Not the best quality, but that is typical of the period. There will be interest in it. A Tiki is an ancestral spirit. Hei Tikis, or Tiki pendants, are worn as protection.[/QUOTE]
