bone jewels
here we are learning the old art of bone carving. nowadays the bone designs are made with beef shins (instead of the traditional whale) using these newfangled electronic drills. the maoris often wore and still wear this fish-hook design, made of bone or jade (also called greenstone). the hook is associated with the legend of maui and the magic fish hook, the north island's creation story.
