Hei Tiki Pendant, New Zealand (Aotearoa) Height: 10 cm Nephrite and wax. An iconic symbol of Māori culture, the hei tiki was worn as a prestigious ornament and passed down through family lineages. This small example retains its original eye inlays made of red sealing wax—a feature rarely preserved—which accentuates the intensity of the gaze and serves as valuable evidence of its age. Provenance: Canadian gallery.
