Pounamu Hei Matau - A symbol of protection

The Hei Matau is thought to bring protection on your travels

The fish hook shape of the hei matau finds its origins in Māori legend, which holds that the North Island of New Zealand was once a huge fish that was caught by the great mariner, Māui.For many, it is a way of signifying their connection to the water.

Gift, with love

Every detail of our packaging is thoughtfully curated, from sustainable, low-ink, recyclable materials to personalised touches like mini-meaning cards and artist profiles. For an extra special touch, our Premium Gift Wrapping service means we wrap your piece in elegant kraft paper, tied with natural string and a woven jute ribbon.

Pounamu Hei Matau bringing safety on ones journey

Steeped in Māori legend, the Hei Matau connects us to the ocean. It is said to bring strength, prosperity and protection on your travels.

Protection

The Hei Matau

The fish hook denotes the importance of fishing to the Māori and their strong relationship with Tangaroa, the god of the sea. The ocean is deeply rooted in Māori worldview and culture and thought by many as the foundation of all life. Protected by the gods, it is a source of food and a place of ritual and spiritual connection, steeped in legend and stories telling of the creation of Aotearoa.
