Description

Genuine New Zealand Pounamu (Greenstone), sourced and hand carved in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Pounamu is of great cultural significance for Māori and is believed to enhance mana (prestige) of its possessor.

In Māori mythology, a fish hook, or Hei Matau, crafted from whale bone was used to pull up New Zealand’s North Island. The hook is traditionally seen as a symbol of strength, determination, leadership, peace, prosperity and good fortune. Paired with a durable black braided wax cord and an adjustable slipknot, it ensures a comfortable and versatile fit for any wearer.

This exact piece, as shown in the photos, will be the one you receive. Please note that slight color variations may occur depending on your device or screen resolution.
