This excellent Maori Bone Serrated Hook Pendant is made even more spectacular by the whale tail at the end of the hook, and string cord it hangs from.
The Maori Bone Hook design also carries a spiritual meaning. The Hook ( hei matau) design signifies abundance, strength, and determination. It is believed to bring peace and prosperity, good health and good luck. It is a good luck charm for catching positive energy, and for safe travel over water. So a powerful spiritual design to wear!
The whale tail design is also spiritually important. The Maori revered the whale. The whale is a symbol of great size and intelligence, and carvings of whales appear on some Maori meeting houses or food storehouses. Whales were believed to help some Maori navigate their way across the South Pacific.
The bone pendant is approximately 1 5/8" (4.5cm) long. A twisted string cord with adjustable toggle closure finishes off this beautiful Maori Bone Hook Pendant.
