Akua Image | Hawaii Museum Replica 12"

The Akua Image is a stunning hand-carved replica from the Hawai‘i Museum, standing 12 inches tall and intricately sculpted from a single piece of solid monkey pod wood. Its towering headdress either represents the rainbow, a symbol of divine presence, or features notches that symbolize the eight foreheads of Lono, a prominent Hawaiian deity.

Meaning "God" or "Image" in Hawaiian, its name is derived from the Hawaiian words "Kai" and "Sea/Ocean". This Tiki is a faithful reproduction of the original, which can now be found on display at the Hawai'i Museum in Honolulu, and is widely recognized by experts as the largest and most exquisite of its kind.
