Sperm whale teeth (Physeter macrocephalus) are still one of the most valuable gifts today. These gifts, called tabua, are presented at marriage ceremonies, mourning ceremonies, apologies for offences, but also at state events as a sign of welcome or solidarity. In the past, whale teeth in Fiji were closely associated with divine power and the "chiefs" and were therefore regarded as the embodiment of the divine ancestors.
