Framed Wood Art in MADINZ Presentation Box

WOOD ART - TE MATAU A MAUI (HOOK)
In ancient Maori folklore, the exploits of Maui (half God/half man) stand unrivalled.

On one such adventure, Maui stowed away in the waka (canoe) when his four older brothers departed on a fishing expedition. When they were far from the land, Maui revealed himself and convinced his brothers to paddle further out to the deepest sea where the fish would be in abundance.

With his enchanted fish hook, which he had fashioned from the jawbone of his great grandmother, with its paua (abalone) shell eyes to see in the depths of the sea and a tuft of dog hair to keep the hook warm in the freezing depths and to retain the scent of the bait (blood from his nose) Maui cast his fishing line.
As soon as his hook descended to the ocean floor, it was devoured by a giant fish. The ocean foamed and boiled as Maui struggled with all his strength to the fish. Finally, the fish yielded and floated to the surface.

Te Ika-a-Maui (The fish of Maui) more commonly known as the North Island of New Zealand had arisen in the South Pacific Ocean. Te Waka a Maui (The canoe of Maui) is known as the South Island and Stewart Island is Te Punga a Maui (Maui’s anchor).
