A collection of pounamu hei-tikis. A hei-tiki is a neck pendant (hei) that's shaped like a person (tiki), and used to be commonly worn by high-ranking Maoris. According to Maori (and related Polynesian) mythology, Tiki was the first man created by the god Tūmatauenga or Tāne. I wonder if this is what tiki bars are named after. These particular hei tikis are made of pounamu, also known as New Zealand greenstone, a type of jade found in New Zealand.
