BELLA NERA

We love the fanciful aura of this striking large Matau. Kerry has hand crafted BELLA NERA from an exceptional piece of Wyoming Black Jade and has finished it in a satin matte polish. 

BELLA NERA showcases Kerry's creative design and his carving mastery. There is no straight line to be found in this piece. It is a complex mix of subtle curves and changing planes that catch and reflect the light.  A superb piece of carved art!

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.

BELLA NERA is provided with a hand-plaited, adjustable cord in Black and Burgundy. We have added a little Burgundy floret just above the top of the carving to secure the cord in position.

Take a look at the video and you will appreciate the artistry of this beautiful piece.

Also included, our 'Kia ora' card, which explains the meaning behind the hook design.
