Matau with Paua 21

A wonderful, meaningful alternative to a 21st key. This hand-carved Matau sits on a wooden base with a paua "21" inlaid into it.

The Matau is a stylised fish hook. According to Maori legend, the North Island of New Zealand was once a huge fish that was caught by the master mariner Maui using a bone hook on a woven line. The matau represents strength, good luck and safe travel across water.

This makes a wonderful 21st gift - something the recipient will want to display forever.

Personalised engraving can be added to the back of the base.

Measures 31cm high, including base.

Please note that the colour of the wood is darker than the one pictured.
