This beautiful Greenstone Fish Hook Pendant measures approximately 1 7/8" long.
The Fish Hook is an important symbol in Maori mythology. The god Maui fished up New Zealand, with the North Island representing the fish and the South Island being his canoe.
It is also a very practical symbol of Maori culture, as seafood ( " Kai moana") is an important part of the Maori diet.
The greenstone used in this pendant is genuine New Zealand pounamu greenstone, from the South Island of New Zealand. Beware of imitations!
