EDGE OF TRADITION - large matau pendant
A Boldly Carved Pounamu Matau!
This striking matau (fishhook) pendant, hand-carved by Shaun Gardiner, redefines strength with edgy, contemporary lines and impeccable craftsmanship. Carved from an exceptional piece of deep green New Zealand pounamu, its silky satin-matte sheen gives it a tactile, organic elegance - smooth to the touch but radiating raw power.
The koru heart adds a subtle layer of meaning - symbolising the ocean’s bounty love, growth, and the enduring bond between land and sea.
A true wearable art piece, this pendant is for those who carry are fiercely individual and have a reverence for tradition.
For the collector, the storyteller, the bold at heart.
EDGE OF TRADITION is provided with an adjustable black cord and is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
Take a look at the video and you will appreciate the artistry of this fantastic piece.
