Hei Matau / Hook

Hei Matau / Hook

Steeped in Māori legend, the Hei Matau connects us to the ocean. It is said to bring strength, prosperity and protection on your travels.

Pounamu Hei Matau

The fish hook shape of the hei matau finds its origins in Māori legend, which holds that the North Island of New Zealand was once a huge fish that was caught by the great mariner, Māui.

Strength, prosperity and safe travel across water.

The ocean is deeply rooted in Māori worldview and culture and thought by many as the foundation of all life. It is a source of food and a place of ritual and spiritual connection, steeped in legend and stories telling of the creation of Aotearoa. The hei matau denotes the importance of fishing to the Maori people of New Zealand and their strong relationship to Tangaroa, the god of the sea.

    Fantastic Art

    The piece itself was everything I hoped for and expected. The shipping was incredibly fast, and the price very fair for a handmade piece of art.

    My only complaint was the clasp and attendant hardware. These were slightly undersized, cheaply made, and the piece to which the clasp attached was badly formed, and already broken when it arrived.

    Luckily, I was able to braid a new adjustable cord and weave a traditional lash to replace the original.

    Still, I would not hesitate to purchase more items from this shop.
