TOTALLY STUNNING MASTERPIECE ONE OF KIND EAGLE HEAD MAORI HEI MATAU FISH HOOK BY INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN NEW ZEALAND MASTER BONE CARVER NORM CLARK. It's my privilege to be offering these fabulous bone carvings by Norm. Now living in the beautiful Pelorus Sound area of New Zealand, Norm has carved for 43 years and has exhibited his work at the Te Maori exhibitions in Chicago and New York, as well as being a guest artist in Los Angeles. Norm's detail, finish and polish is second to none. He carves in the traditional Maori style and his carvings are museum quality. This exquisite bone hei matau is a new design by Norm has unbelievable detail and fabulous surface carving. Each of Norm's carvings features unique, individual surface detail. The Hei Matau is the legendary fish hook with which Maori warrior Maui is said to have pulled the North Island of New Zealand from the South Island and represents triumph and determination. This SUPERB DESIGN by Norm features an exquisitely carved eagle head, with the Maori spirit guide Manaia on one side and a stunning bas relief dolphin on the other. The detail is extraordinary. The piece measures 2.1" long by 1.6" wide with a depth of 10mms. It is minutely carved differently on both sides and suspended on a cord with wooden toggle. Signed N Clark 06.
