Pounamu Oval Matau #2

Pounamu Oval Matau #2  | Karaitiana Akroyd

This Pounamu Oval Matau by Karaitiana Akroyd is a masterfully carved contemporary taonga that feels solid and significant in the hand.

The Matau (fish hook) shape is a deeply respected symbol of abundance, determination, and a strong spiritual connection to the moana.

This particular design features unique notched detailing along the outer edges, giving the traditional form a textured, modern character.

Carved from a rich, deep green pounamu, the stone shows beautiful natural dark blossoms that make the piece feel truly grounded.

It is finished with a traditional dark brown lashed binding and a matching hand-braided cord that ensures it sits comfortably and securely.

Cast a line and bring this symbol of prosperity into your daily life.
