Triple Paua Inlay Bone Maori Hei Matau Fish Hook 60mm

Regular price $42.00 USD

A 60mm x 35mm hand-carved bone fish hook featuring three triangular Paua shell inlays on the barb. This piece combines the strength of the Hei Matau with the spiritual protection of the number three and the "all-seeing" Paua shell, representing a deep connection to the sea god Tangaroa.

This Hei Matau (fish hook) stands out with three shimmering Paua shell triangles set into the bone. In Maori tradition, the number three is very special—it often represents the balance between the sky, the earth, and the sea, or the connection between our past, present, and future. The Paua shell is more than just decoration; its bright colors are often called the "eyes of the stars" and are believed to give the wearer clarity and protection. Because the hook is a symbol for "bringing things in," this necklace is like a magnet for success. It’s a perfect gift for someone starting a new chapter in life who needs a little extra luck and a reminder of their roots.
