Hand Carved Bone Whale Tail Necklace - Polynesian Tribal Pendant

Hafa Adai, Aloha and Talofa! Or Hello- thanks for checking out my Polynesian & Micronesian Jewelry Collection. Thank you so much for shopping with small businesses like ours! This piece is 💯 Hand Carved Solid Buffalo Bone. The necklace is 34” in length, however it can be adjusted to wear as a surfer choker or mid length boho style. Whales are a frequent subject in Polynesian lore too, where they appear as protectors and guides. The two strongest ones swim at the head of the group to protect the others, and the look of the two paired whales is told to have inspired the structure of Polynesian double-hulled seafaring canoes. The whale often represents wisdom and peace in the Polynesian cultures.
