This Maori Bone Fish Hook Necklace has a Whale Tail at the top, making it a striking bone necklace to wear.

The Fish Hook and the Whale design carry spiritual meanings.  The Maori Fish Hook ( hei matau) signifies abundance and plenty, strength and determination.  It is a good luck charm for catching good luck and positive energy, and for safe journey over water. 

Whales and dolphins were believed to help Maori navigate their way across the South Pacific during the Great Migration.  So whales and dolphins are symbols of protection, and today this includes protection for travellers on all modes of transport.

This Bone Fish Hook and Whale Tail Necklace rests on a long string cord with toggle closure.  Carved from cow bone, it measures approximately 45mm x 30mm (1 3/4" x 1 1/8").

Shipped worldwide from New Zealand.
