RISING TIDE

RISING TIDE - handmade, notched, matau pendant carved from a very distinctive piece of New Zealand jade.

This is a pendant with a strong and meaningful design, beautifully carved and visually very eye-catching. Take a moment to view the video to appreciate this wonderful rendition of a traditional matau.

The notches carved into its sides are a customary feature, often representing the wearer's family, ancestors, and community. These elements serve as a reminder of the personal history and support that guides an individual through their life's journey.

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.

RISING TIDE is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
