Toroa Hei Matau Silver Pendant – Tahi Jewelry
A Bird Necklace with a Difference
Traditional Maori culture and modern jewelry meet in this stunning silver pendant by Tahi Jewelry. The Hei Matau, or Maori Fish Hook, is a traditional design with its origin in legend. The Demigod, Maui, fished up the North Island using only a woven line and a bone fish hook. The Hei Matau is therefore a symbol of strength and prosperity. It also stands for a safe journey over water.
Hei Matau is a common form, but each artist adds their own twist. This Hei Matau is called Toroa, or Albatross because its graceful curves are like those of the great sea bird. Toroa represented to Maori beauty and power. Albatross feathers were worn by people of rank, to gain those qualities by association.
A Hei Matau always makes a beautiful piece of jewelry. Suitable for both men and women, a Hei Matau makes a wonderful gift, and is an essential accessory for yourself.
Dimension: The Toroa Pendant measures 20mm in width and is 37mm high. The leather cord is 335mm long; the silver chain is 240mm long.
