260mm Māori Matau (Fish Hook) Carving – Handcrafted Pacific Rimu Wood Award – MD051
This beautifully handcrafted Matau Fish Hook Māori Wood Carving is made from Pacific Rimu (podocarp), a native New Zealand timber known for its rich grain and natural warmth. A meaningful and versatile gift, it’s ideal for birthdays, retirement celebrations, team recognition, or as a unique trophy.
The Matau (fish hook) design holds deep cultural significance in Māori tradition, symbolising peace, prosperity, good health, and safe travels over water. It’s a thoughtful gift for anyone who surfs, sails, paddles, or fishes—or for someone you wish to honour with blessings of well-being and success.
Intricately detailed with surface carvings, this fish hook sculpture is further enhanced by the shimmering inlay of genuine New Zealand pāua shell, adding colour, depth, and a distinctive Kiwi touch.
To make your gift extra special we can add a gold plaque to the stand engraved with your custom inscription for only $30.00
