He is also often depicted with webbed feet which suggests a strong link to the creatures of the sea. Tiki was respected as the teacher of all things and the wearer of this symbol is therefore seen to possess clarity of thought, loyalty, great inner knowledge and strength of character. * Pendant size: 1.8 inches (4.5 cm) long; 0.8 inches (2.0 cm) wide * This pendant comes on an adjustable cotton string - fits all neck sizes! * Cotton is durable and you can wear it while swimming or taking showers. * condition: Brand New * Carvings made of bone are soft and warm to the touch yet the finish is like polished glass, they seem to blend with your body and become a part of you, especially when warn as a pendant against your skin. * Over a period of time bone carvings absorb oils from your skin and change colour to a very light honey gold. The Maori believe this is to be the carving taking on some of your spirituality or essence and thus truly becoming a part of the wearer. * Material is Genuine treated and polished Ox / Cattle Bone - Member of the Bovinae Family
