A carved wooden Māori walking stick or orator's staff. The lower half is plain and the upper half is carved in the form of a stylised Māori head and two standing figures, one on the other's shoulders. The topmost figure rests its three-fingered hands on its waist, and is carved all over with decoration in imitation of body tattoos. The two lower parts are plain and probably unfinished.

This walking stick or orator's staff is known as a tokotoko. It is a symbol of authority, usually held during formal speeches.
