About  [top]
Traditional Maori Hei Matau (fish hook), thought to provide good luck for a safe journey and prosperity for new growth.

*Brings good luck for a safe journey.
*Features an additional carved relief pattern on the hook surface based on the "koru" fern frond, symbolising prosperity for new beginnings.
*Soft and warms to the touch.
*Slowly changes colour to a very light honey gold when worn against the skin.
*Truly becomes a part of the wearer.
*Shows your respect and interest in other cultures.

Tangaroa is God of the Sea. His children are the Fish and Reptiles of Aotearoa (New Zealand). The Hei Matau is spiritually connected to Tangaroa and makes a great gift for someone about to take on a new journey.

The Maori people believed that the spirit of the wearer merged into the bone and this was evidenced by the change in colour with time when worn against the skin. These items were thus given as very special gifts to protect and give strength to the wearer.

On this version the hook tip is on the right as you view it and the front features additional relief carving. (The curve of the bone defines the front and back of the item).

This style also available in Pounamu/Jade

Note: Traditionally these items should only be purchased as a gift for someone else.
