What makes a tiki a talisman
Cultural Significance: Tiki is the first human or a demigod and creator, and carvings represent gods and revered ancestors. As such, these carvings are believed to have supernatural powers and can act as an important spiritual object.
Purpose: Tiki are carved to bestow specific traits upon their owners, with some protecting against evil spirits and others bringing good luck. It is 1 7/8" tall x 5/8 wide.
Materials: Tiki faces have long been carved from bone. In Māori culture, bone from ancestors or whales was used to make particularly precious items.
