This fabulous Maori Wood Carving Necklace features the Maori Fish Hook design, the Hei Matau.

Beautifully cut from Rimu, a honey coloured native New Zealand timber, the wood necklace is cut in a traditional fish hook shape and highlighted with pieces of Paua shell (abalone) and Mother of Pearl shell. 

The Maori Fish Hook Hei Matau design carries a spiritual meaning.  The Hook design signifies abundance, strength, determination, prosperity, and good health.  The Hei Matau is a good luck charm for catching positive energy, and for safe travel over water.

The Rimu Hei Matau itself is approximately 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, and rests on a traditional black, adjustable cord of about 25" (64cm) length.

The Rimu Maori Fish Hook Necklace comes to you on a informative card, so you can always remember its origins and meaning.
