This is a lovely, slender piece, beautifully designed, carved and finished. Tonijae has used a staining technique that draws out and accentuates parts of the design - subtle contrasts that are unique to her work. The stain is a natural tea dye she makes for this purpose - natural and non-toxic!
EYE FOR ADVENTURE is a medium sized and very graceful pendant. It looks great worn and is perfect for any occasion.
Tonijae has left the stained bone matte and has polished the natural bone to a lovely sheen. This adds a somewhat ethereal appearance to this gorgeous piece of art.
EYE FOR ADVENTURE is provided with an adjustable length cord and lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
Take a look at the video and you will appreciate the artistry of this beautiful piece.
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.
Shipped to you with Express Courier and will be provided with our 'Kia Ora Card' explaining the meaning behind the hook design.
