The treasures and vital sustenance of Tangaroa, kaitiaki (protector) of the ocean, required our tūpuna (ancestors) to be expert mariners. The lines and curves of the matau (fishhook) not only represent abundance and prosperity but also safe passage across life's journeys, echoing the voyages undertaken by those who first explored and settled Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa - the vast Pacific.
This hei matau was carved with whakapapa notches by Jeremy Walsh from Marsden flower raukaraka pounamu sourced from Marsden of Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa. It measures 92mm by 61mm, has a glossy finish, and is bound with an adjustable hand-braided cord.
