You are viewing a traditional New Zealand Maori handcrafted Wood Serving Fork and Spoon and hand-carved Tiki Teko-Teko Totem Figure Handles with inlaid Paua Shell Eyes. each with a brown string attached to the handle so that you can hang them. Paua eyes are used because they reflected the light at night, making the carvings more life-like, making the tribe feel as if they were being looked over and guarded by their ancestors while they slept at night.
The Tiki is regarded as a Good Luck Charm by the Māori, Pākehā and other South Pacific Islanders and is traditionally handed down from family to family.
Tiki culture has been widely embraced by many races and became very fashionable since the 1930s as Hawaiian, Maori and Polynesian styles became popular, the classic Tiki Bars appeared with specific types of drinks, food and décor using dark woods, rattan, bamboo furniture and thatching. In recent times the classic tropical Tiki Bar theme has been making a comeback.
A truly beautiful set of serving pieces fashioned in a tropical ethnographic style, for indoor or outdoor use. Perfect for Tiki collectors or a very unique gift idea! Excellent for a Tiki Bar. A great conversation piece!
Natural Wood and the forests that supply the treasured material have a long, rich place in our history that dates back 4000 years to ancient Egypt. Wood has played an important and necessary role in many cultures around the world. The Art of Wood Carving has been handed down through generations and ages. We all appreciate its many uses, tactile surfaces, natural textures, and rich array of earthy colours.
