Big thanks for your comps Surfin'T!

Pekapeka, hei-Tiki/toki? - Ive got a new one for you BenZ: Koropepe!
This is the only spiral-form carved by Maori in pounamu and so Im guessing the 1000's of such pendants produced nowdays were inspired by them (+ strangely humanoid pekapeka in this pic):

'Koropepe' (mine wont have drilled suspension holes, but will be bound between the head/beak instead):

Continuing with this today.. :)
