Embrace the spirit of the Pacific with our exquisite hand-carved Hawaiian Makau necklace. Revered throughout Polynesian culture, the Makau, or fish hook, symbolizes strength, prosperity, abundance, and a profound connection to the ocean. Legend speaks of the demigod Maui, who used his mighty fish hook to pull the Hawaiian Islands from the depths of the sea.
Measuring 10.3cm (approximately 4 inches) in height, 6.5cm (approximately 2.5 inches) in width, and 1.2cm (approximately 0.5 inches) in depth, the pendant is hand-carved wood with detailed work on both sides, a bone barb insert, and an adjustable cord for suspension.
The "Makau," or Hawaiian fish hook, symbolizes strength, prosperity, and safe ocean passage. Traditionally crafted from materials like bone and wood, it represents a deep connection to the sea and its abundance. Wearing a Makau honors ancestral fishing traditions and invokes the sea's protective spirit, making it a powerful emblem of cultural identity.
