Pele Hawaiian Goddess of Fire Vintage Koa Driftwood Carving
24" tall by 12" widest point
The tangled roots form her flaming hair of fire.

Every incident with a volcanic eruption in Hawaii it is said to be Pele's way of expressing
her longing to be with her true love, in many stories a young chief named Lohiau, but she's
a fickle and dangerous lover who sometimes kills her husbands.

This vintage Hawaiian carving is in excellent condition as shown.

Your Pele carving is foam packed and will ship insured with the care she deserves.

It's hard to tell if its Koa, can't see the grain in the pict, but it might be marked as such on the bottom.... Paul's favorite seemed to be Milo wood...
Probably made in the 60's-70's
