Maori Inspired Koa Wood and Bone Manaia Fish Hook Necklace

Māori-Inspired Koa Wood & Bone Manaia Fish Hook Necklace – Handcrafted Tribal Pendant

Celebrate cultural heritage and craftsmanship with this stunning Māori-inspired Manaia fish hook necklace, beautifully handcrafted from rich Koa wood (Acacia) and solid natural bone. The warm, earthy tones of Hawaiian Koa wood perfectly complement the smooth, hand-carved bone in this meaningful design.

Size: Approximately 5.0cm (50mm / 1.97 inches) in length. As each pendant is handmade from natural materials, slight variations in size, grain, and color are to be expected—making each piece truly one of a kind.

All bone used is ethically sourced from domesticated bovine (beef or water buffalo) and is a by-product of the meat industry. No materials from wild or endangered species are used or supported.

The Manaia, a guardian figure in Māori mythology often depicted with a bird-like head, represents protection over land, sea, and air. When combined with the fish hook (hei matau)—a symbol of good luck, prosperity, abundance, and safe travel across water—this pendant becomes a powerful talisman rooted in Polynesian tradition.

Strung on a fully adjustable cord with sliding slip knots for versatile length. Prefer a fixed length? We can customize yours with a toggle and loop closure upon request.

Each necklace is presented in a gift pouch, along with an informational card explaining the symbolism and cultural background of the piece—perfect for gifting or personal reflection.
