This beautiful Hei Matau pendant has been hand carved from New Zealand pounamu (greenstone/jade) by carver Ric Moor.
The Matau is the Māori name for fishhook and is a symbol of determination, strength, provision and safe travel over water.
Pounamu is the Māori name for greenstone or nephrite jade which is only found in the South Island. It is an extremely tough material.
Ric was born in the Bay of Islands where he spent much of his youth carving bone, stone and working with silver but now lives on the West Coast of the South Island. He has been carving for many years and loves working with pounamu because of its permanence and cultural significance.
Made in New Zealand
