This NZ Greenstone Maori Hook Whale Tail Necklace combines two Maori spiritual meanings.
The pounamu necklace combines a Maori Hook (hei matau) with a Whale Tail.
Whales are highly revered by Maori. They are a respected marine species, were used for food and implements, and spiritually they signify intelligence and protection. Maori believed the whale assisted them in navigating the Pacific Ocean.
The hei matau hook design signifies peace, good health, prosperity, and safe travel over water.
This necklace measures approximately 3.5cm (1 3/8") long. It is quite delicate at the tips of the whale tail, so we recommend you take great care with it. Do not sleep with it on, and be careful not to drop it. This beautiful carving deserves to be well looked after, and in return you are sure to get many compliments when you wear it.
