A RUTH BADER GINSBURG MAUI HOOK.Watea Arts & Design, Auckland, NZ. Pounamu Maui Hook 98 x 28 mm, mounted on woven background and framed in Rimu timber to 275 x 232 mm. The label on the reverse indicates that this hook is made of greenstone and represents the legend of Maui's hook, a hook created by the man-god Maui from his grandmother's magical jawbone, which he then used to pull the North Island up from the bottom on the ocean. The Ginsburg home was enhanced with this artifact of Maori culture, a memento of their visit to New Zealand. The Maui hook is a tangible symbol for the Maori people, representing their traditional connection to fishing and their relation to the sea-god, Tangaroa. In Boston on March 13, 2009, Justice Ginsburg gave a talk for New England Law titled "Lighter Side of Life at the Supreme Court." Shements on her travels and summer activities: " In between sitting weeks, some of us spend a day or two visiting U.S. universities or law schools as I am doing just now, or attending meetings with judges and lawyers across the country. Mid winter or summer some of us travel abroad to teach, or to learn what we can about legal systems in distant places. For example, in recent recesses, I have taught, lectured, or participated in meetings of jurists in Australia, Austria, China, England, France, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa. This item is visible in the apartment listing photograph of the tairs bathroom. None
