We recently aquired this outrigger and we were given a brief history from the seller who claimed a pair of these were carved in the 50's in Hawaii and brought to San Diego. They hung in a La Jolla restaurant, but he did not know which one.

It is hand carved as you can see the adze marks on the inside and outside. The paintings on the outside don't seem to be the originals, possibly redone in the 70's or 80's. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks!!
