Ku | Hawaii Museum Replica 40"
This striking 40-inch-tall tiki represents Ku, one of the four major Hawaiian gods. Carefully hand-carved from a single, solid piece of wood, this sculpture showcases intricate detail and craftsmanship that honor traditional Polynesian artistry.
Ku is the Hawaiian god of strength, war, family, sunrise, and prosperity in farming. As the deity of both creation and destruction, Ku embodies duality—representing the fierce warrior who wields the ‘ihe (spear) in battle, as well as the life-giver who nurtures crops and the land.
According to tradition, Ku stands upright—symbolizing both moral and physical strength. He is deeply associated with the elements of warfare, fishing, agriculture, and the deep forest, playing a central role in sustaining Hawaiian life and culture.
This beautifully carved piece is not only a powerful cultural symbol but also a captivating work of art that celebrates the enduring spirit of the Hawaiian people.
