MatauThe fish hook resembles prosperity, good luck, abundance, good health, and safe passage over water.
About thousand years ago when the Maori settled in New Zealand they lived mainly on fish they caught in the seas. Because fishing was that important for their subsistence the fish hook was not only an essential tool but a symbol of surviving as well. This symbol evolved into a symbol of prosperity, abundance, good luck, and even prestige. This Matau measures about 1-3/4" long and 1#4 wide and has a 26" adjustable black cord. |
