CALL OF THE WILD

CALL OF THE WILD - handmade matau pendant carved from a very distinctive piece of New Zealand jade.

This is a real show-stopper! A strong pendant, beautifully carved and visually arresting. Take a moment to view the video to appreciate this wonderful rendition of a traditional matau.

This is the piece for you if you'd like something that is quite unique and large.

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.

CALL OF THE WILD is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
