New Zealand made cultural art and gifts from local talent

While traveling around Te Wai Pounamu, New Zealand’s South Island, we stayed in a lovely bach in Punakaiki. The owner recommended to visit his friend Aden Hoglund in Hokitika. Aden is a Maori master carver and we are very proud to feature his beautiful toki (adze) pounamu carvings, koru pounamu carvings, drop pounamu carvings and tiki pounamu carvings.

Aden creates stunning carvings for Presidents and future Queens. Aden is the carver who created a stunning greenstone artwork for President Obama and a beautiful greenstone pendant for the Duchess of Cambridge.
