This pendant (30mm x 20mm) is in the shape of a stylised Maori fish hook known as the hei-matau (pronounced hay-may-tow), matau meaning hook.

It is believed that the hei-matau and many other fish-like amulets, more common in the south, may have been worn as talismans during fishing expeditions.

The pendant comes to you on a long traditional waxed adjustable cord, information card and gift pouch.

A wonderful gift for friends or between family members. A spiritual keepsake.

This particular piece is made from New Zealand Greenstone.

Each piece of Greenstone is unique, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph.
