GREEN HUNTER - New Zealand Jade Matau, Hook, Pendant
Designed and carved by Ric Moor, this is a small, traditionally bound matau, made from pounamu. The stone is a wonderful deep green Marsden jade from New Zealand.
GREEN HUNTER is a wonderful example of beautiful craftsmanship - beautifully balanced and finished in a soft matte polish. The effect is a piece that looks fabulous and is gorgeous to handle. A pendant to wear all the time.
Ric tells us that he prefers this finish to the higher polish because, with time and wear, the pendant will adapt and change with the owners lifestyle and become what he considers a 'better' piece.
Watch the brief video we have made of it slowly revolving. It will reveal all the angles and subtle variations in colour, and maybe help you imagine how this piece will make you feel when you slip it over your head.
The Hook - Matau: 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.
GREEN HUNTER is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
