Asset Overview
Fishing lure made from tropical black-lipped pearl shell ([Pinctada margaritifera](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinctada_margaritifera)).
It was found in 1964 during an archaeological excavation at Tairua on the Coromandel Peninsula.
The lure is highly significant because it was made in East Polynesia (in the early-mid1300s) and brought here, on a waka, with the Polynesian settlers of Aotearoa.
