Canadian Jade Manaia Fish Hook Necklace

This is a serpent like design known as a 'manaia', the Maori guardian form prevalent in wood carving. It is said to be bridge the gap between the living and the dead which is why it's always carved in profile. It has one foot in this world and one in the realm of the dead. Wear it for protection or to connect with a passed one. It's carved in a beautiful green jade from Canada.
