Fishing hook (1) - Bone, Shell - Maori - New Zealand
Antique Maori fishing hook from New Zealand.
Wonderfull rare item in excellent condition, dating from the 19th century, genuine antique, superb colour and patina, museal quality!
The reflective pearl shell acts as a lure to fish when in the water, nice that much of the original binding still remains, nice carved hook point, the piece is very sculptural in its form.
Measuring 9 cm in length
