The manaia is a powerful symbol which represnts a guardian of nature and a talisman against evil for the wearer.
The matau is modelled on the shape of a fish hook - such as the one used by Maui, a figure in Maori mythology, to fish up the North Island (Te Ika a Maui). It is a symbol of strength, good luck and safe travel, especially across water.
Comes with braided adjustable neck ring.
