Item Description
This honu lauhala (pandanus turtle) pillow was woven on the island of Kauai by Malia Nobrega-Olivera as a part of a community weaving group on Zoom led by Kumu Maile Andrade. Malia began weaving alongside her mother as they attended the Kona Lauhala weaving conference together. She was also a student of Kumu Maile's first Hana Noeau Maawe class and has always enjoyed weaving. Malia is thankful for the opportunity she has to continue learning from Maile and is now a part of a weaving community here on the island of Kauai.
Malia is also a salt maker in Hanapepe, Kauai and a proud member of the Hui Hana Paakai o Hanapepe. On behalf of her ohana and the Hui she is donating a jar of this priceless Hanapepe salt. The paakai (salt) is cultivated in the last place in all of Hawaii that continues to make salt in this manner.
Dimensions of honu- 10in x 8in
10inches from head to tail
8inches from flipper to flipper
