This 1480mm (58 1/4") long tokotoko is our longest Maori walking/hiking stick so far.
In Maori tradition, the Tokotoko (a ceremonial carved walking stick) is a symbol of the authority and the status of a speaker on the Maori marae (meeting ground), and it tells of the history from which that authority comes. The carving may represent an ancestor or a legend. I have fond memories of seeing great Maori orators swinging their tokotoko about to make a point in their speech.
This tokotoko is ideal for those who like to hold onto a staff to walk, or those who want a hiking stick.
The stick is handmade, hand carved in New Zealand, and is Maori made.
It is intricately carved at the top with a stylised face, embellished with paua shell eyes. The stick is made from the native Totara tree.
It has a rubber stopper at the lower end.
Beautifully carved from beautiful native timber, and shipped worldwide.
NB: Because of its length it must ship overseas by Express Courier.
