Maori Koru Bone Hei Matau Fish Hook 63mm

Regular price $40.00 USD

A hand-carved 63mm x 32mm bone fish hook necklace featuring detailed Koru-style engravings on the shank. This unisex taonga represents the legendary fishing of the North Island by the god Maui, symbolizing abundance, new life, and a deep respect for the ocean.

This Hei Matau (fish hook) blends a bold, modern shape with traditional "Koru" carvings. The Koru patterns (unfurling fern fronds) in Maori culture stand for new beginnings and personal growth. The hook itself is a tribute to the famous story of Maui, the great navigator who used a sacred hook to pull the North Island of New Zealand from the sea. Because of this history, the necklace is seen as a symbol of great achievement and success. It is a sturdy, meaningful piece that works well for anyone who wants a protective charm that celebrates both nature and their own inner strength.
