Amy Wassing

A superb example of a Pacific Islands New Zealand Maori Fishing Hook or Lure Carved from Bone and with the unusual addition of 2 Tiki Heads and retaining its original Weaved Cord. The Shell would have been applied to create a flash in the Water which would have caused the prey to snap at the piece resulting in being Hooked. Acquired from a Private Collection of Pacific and Oceanic Art in Cambridgshire, United Kingdom!

The piece measures approx 8.2cm in overall length - 1cm in width from a frontal view and is being offered in good overall condition showing use but no damage or losses to mention as shown!

A superb piece for any Pacific/Oceanic Islands or New Zealand Maori enthusiast!
