Ika Necklace by artist Nicki Cliff of Lilygriffin Jewellery
Ika is the Māori word for fish (any aquatic animal in fresh or salt water). A tapu (sacred) activity, Māori fishermen would offer prayers to Tangaroa and other gods, and when they caught the first fish they would return it to the sea, to thank Tangaroa.
