Hei Matau | Arapo Whata This hand-sculpted pounamu hei matau is a profound tribute to Māori artistry and heritage. The hook form represents a deep connection to the ocean and is a traditional symbol of prosperity, abundance, and safe passage over water. Arapo Whata has meticulously carved this piece to highlight the natural character and deep green tones of the stone. The fluid curves and precise finish reflect a mastery of form that honours the functional history of the fish hook as a vital tool. It is a treasured taonga that serves as a permanent anchor of strength and a meaningful link to the spirit of Aotearoa. Dimensions: Width - 50mm x Height - 100mm Cord length - 300mm Show more
