Ku | Hawaiian Museum Replica 12"
Bring the spirit of traditional Hawaiian artistry into your home with this beautifully hand-carved Kū Kiʻi (Tiki) Standing approximately 12 inches tall, each piece is expertly carved from a single solid piece of premium Monkey Pod wood.
Kū is one of the four principal Hawaiian gods in traditional Hawaiian culture. He is associated with strength, courage, protection, family, the sunrise, and abundance. As a powerful symbol, Kū represents both the warrior and the provider, embodying the balance between defending life and sustaining it through fishing, farming, and stewardship of the land.
According to traditional Hawaiian beliefs, Kū is connected to war, the deep forest, fishing, and agriculture. He is represented by the ʻihe (spear), symbolizing both the power to protect and the life-giving forces that bring forth growth from the earth.
