Maori Carved Bone Tattoo Fish Hook Pendant

Maori Carved Bone Tattoo Fish Hook Pendant

• Beautifully hand carved pendant made of natural white cow bone in the Maori style (Hei-matau) fish hook; a textured hatch design.
• 1-7/8" long x 1-1/8" wide, skillfully wrapped, on a 28" natural braided cotton cord necklace with bone bead adjustable sliding knot to any length you need.
• This shape represents strength, prosperity, abundance and fertility. Wearing it is a sign of respect for the sea and its creatures, so it is also regarded as a good luck charm providing protection and safety while traveling over water.

For the Maori, the hei matau is taonga (a cultural treasure). It represents not only their land, but also prosperity, fertility and safe passage over water.
