in 0 collections
This is a ceramic ashtray showing Diamond Head, a famous volcanic crater on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu. Known as Leahi (brow of the tuna) in Hawaiian, the crater was named Diamond Head by 19th century British sailors who thought they discovered diamonds on the crater's slopes. These "diamonds" were actually shiny calcite crystals that had no value.
