New Zealand Pounamu Large Hei Matau / Fish Hook with Braided Cord Necklace – JJH80
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 symbolizes strength, determination, and leadership, bringing peace, prosperity, and good fortune to its wearer. Paired with a durable black braided wax cord and an adjustable slipknot, it ensures a comfortable and versatile fit for any wearer.
