Coco Joe's 8" Kanaloa Statue "God of Eternal Hope" HW-15, Hapa-wood with a stylized carved log/tree base. The green label on the back reads: "KANALOA Polynesian God of Eternal Hope. KANALOA, endowed by worshippers with human traits, was looked upon as a tangible, spiritual symbol. The original Polynesian Poseidon, Kanaloa was one of the four major gods of Ancient Hawaii. He was also claimed by some to be the "fallen angel" god who reigned over the region of departed spirits. Frequently, Kanaloawas described as a drinker of "awa" (a beverage made of pepper plant root) with a passion for "bananas and sugar cane". This god, believed given to human strengths and weaknesses, thus gave fortitude to his followers." and "With a sculptural blend of island woods, cocojoe's depicts for you, this important Tiki God of Eternal Hope".
