"Te Mura"

The flame

Ko Te Mura carving

"Let your light so shine,
that they may see your good works".

Another shape of the hook, encouraging one to be a "light" or a shining example to others. Portraying warmth and love.

The hook resembles 'Ko Te Hei Matau A Maui'
(The Fishhook of Maui), our good luck charm giving peace, prosperity, good luck and good health.

If yours has the dots, it is the ripo ripo, reminding you that there will be trials to work through and also represents your posterity (descendants) to pass down your knowledge and experiences.
