Hei Matau Ika Silver Pendant - Worth and Douglas
A Symbol of Strength
This silver pendant is crafted in a traditional Maori design, the Hei Matau or Maori Fish Hook. This particular Hei Matau is called Ika, or fish, as the inner loop of the Hei Matau flicks gracefully like the tail of a fish.
The Hei Matau can represent prosperity as for Maori living on the fertile coastlines of New Zealand, owning a fishhook was enough to guarantee prosperity. Hei Matau is also linked to the land, as legend states that the demigod Maui fished up the North Island of New Zealand using only a woven line and a bone hook. The Hei Matau also stands for strength, abundance and fertility.
This Ika Hei Matau is the perfect gift for a traveler, as it represents a safe journey over water. It makes a great New Zealand souvenir, and is appropriate for both men and women to wear. Maori consider Hei Matau to be special treasures and you’ll sure to treasure this Hei Matau.
Dimensions: Ika is 30mm wide at its widest point, and 28mm high. The leather cord is 335mm long; the silver chain is 240mm long.
