Title: Maori Symbole and his little pendant
Post by: heiko rettberg on June 28, 2010, 03:33:42 pm

Hy everybody,
here is my last work, it's an Maori symbol and an pendant they called Hei Matau. The signification of the symbol is strength, good luck.

This is a beautiful work of art!  It kind of looks like Walnut, but I know it isn't.  What kind of wood did you use?

Thanks, Sheila

Nice piece of work where did you get the pattern?, it is actually a Maori fish hook that has been symbolised, this the sort of shapes they used made from whale bone or green stone, there is some really nice Maori carvings they are a very artist people
