I assume it's not signed or marked on the back or bottom? If it is, please include pics. |

Aloha, They are basic tourist pieces sold all over the islands... They are rarely signed. |

Hi Franky. I'm not sure what gods the carvings are supposed to represent. If you are trying to ID them in that way. I think some artistic license is taken in carving some tourists pieces but I may be mistaken. Cool pieces to bring home though. I have a couple in my home bar and welcome to TC.

Not to sure but there are a few carvers ere in the island now.. Possibly Tao if it was bought at the Swap Meet at the college or Tavika who is a local carver here in Kihei.. |
