Fish Hook by Thom with Tapa Design Type 1

Ancient Hawai’ians made Fish Hooks (makau) from materials, such as shell, bone or hardwood. Makau are said to represent strength and fortune, bring good luck, and identify wearers as good providers. This hand engraved, sketchbook designed, extra large piece retains the unmistakable makau shape under the luster of solid sterling silver with a contrasting enamel overlay. The kapa design woven lauhala, the tough, hardy leaves of the hala tree were traditionally used to make everything from hats to thatching. The material is literally woven into the cultures of Polynesians everywhere. As with others in this collection, you can choose to put the provocative tapa design forward, or the intricately engraved "plain" side.

Tapa (kapa) was one of the main textiles throughout Polynesia used for clothing and decoration. The tapa patterns of old bring into the modern age the aesthetics of the past.
