Maui is depicted wielding a fishing rod, alluding to his many exploits involving the sport of fishing, including raising the Hawaiian Islands from the ocean floor. On the ends of his hair lay seven shrunken heads, a reference to an obscure epithet ("Maui of the Eight Heads") and the overall significance of the number Eight in Polynesian folklore.
