Boneyard Alaska Woolly Mammoth Ivory Matau Hook Pendant

Boneyard Alaska Woolly Mammoth Ivory carved 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.

Made from hand-carved Woolly Mammoth ivory, in the shape of an artistic fish hook, the Hei Matau embodies strength, prosperity, fertility, good luck, and safe travel over water. It's a great gift for others or for yourself. The stylized hook originates from the Maori legend of Maui, who caught a huge fish using a jawbone hook that he had crafted from his late grandmother. The Matau hook is known to bring good luck while fishing and traveling over water, and now serves as a symbol of power, authority, good health, and abundance.
