Stunning dark green jade hei matau (fish hook) pendant.
This is a natural piece of hand carved nephrite jade, carved by a Maori artisan in Lake Taupo and personally sourced by us, ie the genuine article carved by a Maori in New Zealand (the majority to be found on the web today are carved in workshops in China under the “supervision” of Maori craftsman who may visit once a year).
In Maori culture the fish hook represents strength, good luck and safe travel across water.
- A-grade nephrite jade with beautiful translucency
- Fully finished necklace with feature jade beads
- Maori carved from the Lake Taupo region of New Zealand
- Equally beautiful as mens jewellery or womens jewellery
- This is a one-off unique item. No two are exactly the same
Measurements: length of pendant 4.3 cm (2.75 in)
