A large 95mm x 45mm Hawaiian-style Makau (Fish Hook) handcrafted from native wood and polished bone. This bold statement piece features traditional cord wrapping on both the shank and the barb, symbolizing strength, prosperity, and a deep connection to the spirit of the Pacific Ocean.
This Makau is a modern version of the traditional Hawaiian fish hook, a tool that was once vital for survival and is now a respected symbol of authority. Carved from a blend of natural wood and bone, it honors the "Wayfinder" spirit of the Pacific islands. The detailed cord wrapping on the handle and the hook's tip gives it a rugged, authentic feel. In Hawaiian culture, the Makau represents more than just fishing; it is a sign of a provider's strength and their bond with the sea. Wearing this hook is believed to bring good luck, abundance, and safe passage to those who travel, making it a powerful charm for life’s journeys.
