Description

Handcarved Dragon's Tail Fish Hook Bone Pendant on Leather String (Adjustable 14" - 26"). The Fish Hook (Hei Matau) is an important symbol in Maori culture which signifies abundance and plenty, strength and determination. It is known to bring peace, prosperity and good health. According to Maori beliefs, this device is also considered a talisman that can catch good luck and positive energy, and when traveling, it is said to provide a safe journey over water. No animals were harmed or killed for our horn and bone jewelry. All materials are from already deceased animals or removed as part of their prescribed care. The tradition of carving jewelry from these existing materials were borne our of creativity and the cultural disinclination for wasted parts/materials. JEWELRY CARE: Organic Jewelry require more care than other fashion products. Oiling (i.e. jojoba oil, or any kind actually) is a conditioning care that you can do. Doing this helps maintain the color of the wood. Do not leave in water or direct sunlight. Do not soak. It is not recommended to do any strenuous activity that may put pressure on the piece - breaking is a serious possibility.
