She gladly did, and told me it was carved from koa with a pen knife over 50 years ago by a talented friend who has passed on. It was an excellant rendition of the famous Ku, of which the original is standing inside Bishop Museum. I'll try to carry a camera in the next week's mornings to try and get pix.
