Hei Tiki is a powerful, good luck symbol. Tilted head is for thinking, hand is strength, mouth communication, heart is love and loin fertility. The Hei Tiki is worn around the neck as a Kaitiaki (Guardian). The Paua shell is used widely in carvings and artwork and enhances the piece with its colour and beauty. In this instance, the eyes of Hei Tiki are made out of Paua shell.
