Hei Matau - Notched

$900.00

The Matau is a fish-hook.

Some Matau were functional in form and others, like this one, were designed to be ceremonial / ornamental.

The Matau is hands-down my favourite form to carve - the bevels, curves, tapers, and balance all add to the phenomenal aesthetic.

This Matau is made from a beautiful piece of Pounamu and features intricate beveled notching.
