The Hei Tiki is an ornamental pendant, usually made of pounamu. It's a good luck charm and symbolizes ancestral pride, wisdom, and character. Its common depiction with hands on the loins is a strong fertility symbol. In Maori mythology, some link its origin to Tiki, the first man, or Hineteiwaiwa, the goddess of childbirth. Historically, Hei Tiki were passed down through generations, increasing their mana. Today, it remains a deep cultural symbol and a link to ancestors.
