Wooden temple image, Island of Hawaii, Hawaiian Islands, Polynesia, Ca. 1822. Hawaiian heiau (open-air temples) were dedicated to the three main Hawaiian deities: Ku who represented war or aggression, Kane who represented life-giving or procreation, and Lono who represented prosperity or agricultural plenty. This image probably represents Ku, in his aspect as Kuka'ilimoku, the 'snatcher of land'. Inv. ET Oc,LMS.223.
