If you'd like something that is visually arresting, this piece is worth a look! It has a very strong design with a lot of jade displayed through the body of the hook - this promotes the gorgeous kokopu stone that is unique to New Zealand.

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.
