This New Zealand Bone Whales Tail pendant is a beautiful piece.  Simple, inexpensive, and perfect.

The Whale Tail pendant measures approximately 1 7/8" across (4.6cm).

Whales are an important part of Maori culture and spirituality, and are highly regarded by all New Zealanders.   Whales were of huge importance to the Maori as a food and utensil source.  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.

Whale watching is an important tourist activity here as well.
