Maori Symbole and his little pendant

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
