Vintage Carved Bone Hei Matau Fish Hook Pendant Necklace

This vintage carved bone pendant features the traditional hei matau fish hook design, a symbol often associated with strength, prosperity, and safe travel over water. The carving showcases detailed etched patterns along the outer curve with smooth polish on the reverse side.

The pendant is suspended on a black braided cord, creating a bold yet minimal look that layers well or stands strong on its own. The soft ivory tone of the bone contrasts beautifully against darker clothing.

Pre-owned vintage condition. Light surface wear consistent with age. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.
