WHITETIP AT DUSK

In stock


WHITETIP AT DUSK a bold, opportunistic and unpredictable underwater predator - quietly going about his business in the soft evening light....

A really nice MATTE New Zealand jade hook that we have had carved with care and precision. These are bound with a traditional lashing on the shaft - the binding is decorative and strong.

The finish is a soft matte polish. This lends the carving a natural look and feel and, for us, looks a little like this underwater predator cruising in the soft light of the evening.

We have a similar design in a high polish finish - WHITETIP.

A visually strong pendant, beautifully carved with a traditional binding this piece looks like it means business. Take a moment to view the video to appreciate the material used and the beautifully clean lines of this piece.  This will make a fabulous pendant for someone who loves the ocean.

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. It is worn for protection when travelling - especially over water.

We provide these on hand plaited adjustable cords and will also include one of our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Hook design.
