Description

Experience the essence of Hawaii with our KONA BROWN stained tiki, standing at 40 inches tall. Crafted from a single solid piece of acacia koa wood, also known as Saman/Raintree, each detail is meticulously carved. Ku, representing strength, warrior spirit, family, and good harvest, is one of the four major Hawaiian Tiki Gods. Learn more about these sacred deities on our About Tiki Gods page.

KU embodies both positive and negative qualities, symbolizing both honor and strength. He is associated with activities such as warfare, fishing, and agriculture, as well as the mysterious depths of the forest. He is depicted as holding the 'ihe (spear), representing the dual nature of war as both a taker and giver of life, as seen in the traditions of the Bishop Museum in Honolulu.
