Carved Maori Taniwha Pendant - New Zealand

Carved Maori Taniwha Pendant -- New Zealand? This came from an estate. The previous owner traveled the world. I suspect this came from New Zealand. It is about 5.25 (133mm) long.

I think it is carved bone. A hot needle does nothing to it. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Cultures & Ethnicities\Pacific Islands".
