Chamorro Latte Stone Decor - Hand Carved Albesia Wood, Guam Souvenir

Hafa Adai, Talofa and Alohaaaaa! Or Hello- :) thanks for checking out my Polynesian & Micronesian Collection. This listing is for a beautiful, solid stained albesia wood, latte stone decor must have. The latte stands 7.25” tall and is 3.25” wide. If you’re from Guam or the Micronesia islands, you recognized this immediately! If not, let me share the amazing significance of this stone. A latte stone or simply latte (also latde, latti, or latdi), is a pillar (Chamorro haligi). This architectural marvel was built by ancient Micronesians and can be found throughout the Mariana islands. In modern times, the latte stone is seen as a sign of Chamorro identity and is used in many different contexts. It’s on the USA Guam and Micronesian Islands Quarter and an important identity factor to locals.
