In Hawaii, the fish hook, or makau, symbolizes strength, prosperity, and a deep respect for the ocean. During the early Polynesian settlements in Hawaii, fishermen fashioned fish hooks from available materials, meticulously carving them with handmade tools and files. The deity Maui wielded a renowned hook named Mānaiakalani, attempting to unite the islands by hooking them together, hence weaving the makau into the fabric of Hawaiian mythology. Today, the Makau signifies a profound connection to the sea, its inhabitants, and the delicate equilibrium of life on the Islands.

These black-colored fish hooks are hand carved from wood and wrapped at the end with cord. They have a flower and waves etched in them, along with the word, "Maui". Perfect for hanging. Makes a great gift or ornament to show your love of Hawaii. As you can see in on of the photos, each one is different and hand-carved, so measurements may vary slightly. Approximately 6".
