Item Description
Hina 'Ai Kamalama, giclee print by Carol Araki Wyban.
Hina 'Ai Malama was a goddess who lived beneath the sea. As the favorite child of her family, she was given a special diet kept in a calabash bowl. When she left her home and rose above the sea with her calabash, her food flew to the sky and became the moon and stars. Hina 'Ai Malama married a chief and had five daughters who grew up and transformed into five fishponds, each with its own special type of fish.
Dimensions: Framed 24″ x 18″
