This piece is a beautiful example of the Māori Greenstone Adze, or Toki Pou Tangata. The Māori Adze was primarily used as a large chisel, but was also used in war.
This ceremonial Māori adze has its handle made from sustainably harvested Tulip Wood, a very strong hardwood. The adze piece itself is a beautiful slice of New Zealand greenstone, Pounamu.
The Adze comes to you on the display stand shown. It measures approximately 33cm (13") long and 24cm ( 9 1/2") tall on its stand.
This is a fabulous piece of New Zealand carving, not to mention the beauty of natural greenstone. It will be a feature piece in your Māori collection.

Hi Lesley,
I cannot express how 'blown away' the recipient of this gift was to receive it.
I knew what I wanted to present him with and what you supplied was exactly what I wanted and hoped for.
The engraving was the icing on the cake.
Thank you very much.
One seriously happy customer.
Regards
Jason
