Steam rises in geothermal setting behind man wearing New Zealand Pounamu Hei Tiki

Jason Vercoe

The artist behind this creationWatching his uncle carve extraordinary works of art from wood inspired Jason’s journey into jade carving. Under the expert guidance of Tamaora Walker and Akapita Scally, he is swiftly emerging as an exciting new artist and strives to create his own masterpieces with pounamu.

Passing down through generations of whanau (family), the mana (prestige) and korero (stories) of the Hei Tiki grow, forming lasting connections with tūpuna (ancestors) and bringing knowledge and protection.

Hei Tiki

Thought to represent the human form, Hei Tiki are a complex form, and one of the most challenging to shape by hand, with New Zealand pounamu typically being used for their creation. The form is deemed to be one of the highest achievements of early pounamu artistry and today's jade carvers take great care in protecting the culturally iconic figure in their work.
