Description:
A Rare Contact Period Maori Trolling Fish Hook (Pa Kakawai). This hook has no wooden shank, and is therefore an older Pa Kakawai as later Maori figured out that Paua shell alone was too thin to form strong shanks that could cope with the strain. Bone point, lashed snood and line. Length 7 cm
