Maori Inspired Stylized Manaia Aged Bone Fish Hook Necklace

Māori-Inspired Stylized Manaia Fish Hook Necklace – Hand-Carved Aged Bone

Make a bold statement with this Māori-inspired Manaia fish hook necklace, expertly hand-carved from solid natural bone and finished with a rich, aged appearance. Designed for those who appreciate larger, standout pieces, this pendant embodies deep cultural meaning and artistic craftsmanship.

Size: Approximately 6.5 cm (2.5") long x 3.3 cm (1.29") wide – ideal for those who prefer larger-sized pendants. Each piece is unique, with slight variations in color and grain due to the natural aging process developed to give the bone its vintage look.

The stylized fish hook, or hei matau, is a powerful Polynesian symbol representing good luck, prosperity, abundance, and safe journey—especially over water. Combined with the Manaia, a revered bird-like guardian spirit in Māori mythology, this pendant becomes a symbol of protection over land, sea, and sky.

Wear it your way—this pendant is reversible and can be worn facing either direction.

Comes on a hand-braided, one-size-fits-all cord with sliding slip knots, allowing it to be adjusted to your desired length. Upon request, we also offer a fixed-length cord with a traditional toggle and loop closure.

Your necklace arrives in a gift pouch, complete with an informational card detailing the cultural meanings of the Manaia and fish hook—making it a perfect gift for someone special or a meaningful personal keepsake.
