Carved Wood Makau Fish Hook Necklace

Hand carved Monkeypod Wood Makau Fish Hook necklace! The carved Makau pendant is 2 1/2 inches long and the adjustable twisted cord necklace can be worn as short as 14 inches to as long as 24 inches simply by sliding the two bone beads to desired length. Regarded as a symbol for safe passage over water, the Makau, or fishhook, brings good fortune and strength to those who wear it. Also used as OluKai's logo, the Makau has held deep cultural significance in Hawaii and throughout the Polynesian Triangle for over a millennium. Most Hawaiian fishermen wear them faithfully while at sea fishing or traveling across the ocean from island to island.
