A very special bound Hei Matau. The hook is worn to aid safe travel particularly over water but also for navigating the ups and downs of life and as a talisman for prosperity. The earthy colours of this character rich Pounamu remind me of looking down onto a river flat where a breeze moves through the Toitoi and a deer feeds in the early morning peace. This Hei Matau would be a special gift for the person who derives strength from spending time in nature. Carved by Robert. Approximately 8.5 x 4 cm.
