AOTEA MATAU

- a small matau pendant in New Zealand Aotea Stone

a striking hook design pendant hand-carved from rare Aotea stone. Although a smaller sized piece, its presence is balanced by an elegantly flowing form, and an unusual colour. This is a piece for someone who appreciates traditional design, but likes something a little different - for someone who carves their own path through life.

The matau, or fishhook, is a revered symbol of prosperity, safe passage, and strength drawn from the sea. This design transcends the functional tool, capturing the very spirit of the ocean. Worn for protection and to navigate life's journeys, it is a talisman of deep connection.

Carved with a masterful sensitivity that highlights the stone's vibrant hues, the pendant feels as dynamic as the sea itself. Each sweeping curve reflects its purpose: not just to catch, but to provide; not just to function, but to flow.

presented in a traditional woven kete pouch, honouring the heritage it represents.

We also include one of our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Matau design.
