VULCAN NAVIGATOR

This is an exceptional carving, a gorgeous design carved with the high quality and beautiful finish that is typical of Madelyne's work. Hand crafted with an eye for design, this piece is carved from rare pounamu sourced from the Nelson region in New Zealand.

 The things we love:

• The stone - a gorgeous, silky jade with its dark and varied, grey/black colour variations that beautifully represent the land the stone came from
• The finish - in the hand this piece feels like cool silk. The craftsmanship and patience required to achieve this level of quality is very evident here
• The design - this is a large and graceful piece with a beautiful flowing, harmonious form. A suitable design for anyone to wear.

If you would like to own a superb carving from a very talented artist and carver - take a close look at this piece, it is truly beautiful.

The matau, or hook pendant is revered throughout the South Pacific as a symbol for life, well-being and prosperity. Its significance arises from the key role that fishing has played in sustaining island families and communities. The owner of a good hook was respected and held a place of authority in the community.

A little about this design...

The Hook: The wearer of a Hei-Matau is seen as a provider and protector who is strong willed and determined to succeed in life - what a lovely sentiment to gift to someone important to you.

VULCAN NAVIGATOR is provided with a hand-plaited, adjustable cord. Wear it where it suits you best!

Take a look at the video and you will appreciate the artistry of this beautiful piece.

Also included, our 'Kia ora' card, which explains the meaning behind the hook design.
