Boneyard Alaska Woolly Mammoth Ivory carved and inked Hei Matau style fish hook pendant. Proudly made using Woolly Mammoth Tusk Ivory pieces found and recovered on-site at the historic Boneyard Alaska owned by John and Ramona Reeves. One-of-a-kind.

This colorful pendant is hand-crafted from authentic Alaska Woolly Mammoth ivory in the form of a stylish fish hook. Representing strength, prosperity, fertility, and good fortune in waterborne journeys, the Hei Matau is a fantastic option as a gift for loved ones or for yourself. Its unique shape is based on the Maori tale of Maui, who aptly used a bone hook made from his grandmother's remains to snag a massive fish. With its ability to bring good luck and symbolize power, authority, good health, and abundance, the Matau hook is a must-have for any fishing trip or as a bold accessory.

 

Care Instructions

Enjoy it! Keep dry as ivory doesn't like being wet. Use a clean dry polishing cloth to buff. Treat ivory jewelry like a fine gem or fossil. No soaps or detergents. If you have any other care questions let me know. Thank you, Kristin
