KERMADEC

KERMADEC - a handmade matau pendant carved from a very distinctive, colourful piece of New Zealand jade.

This is a real show-stopper! A strong pendant, beautifully carved and visually imposing. Of particular note is the exceptional stone used here. A very unusual piece of New Zealand jade with striking and distinct colouring. This is a piece that you won't find again.

Take a moment to view the video to appreciate this wonderful rendition of a traditional matau.

This is the piece for you if you'd like something that is quite unique but not too large.

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.

KERMADEC is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch and delivery with express courier is included in the price.
