Looking for a unique gift or piece for your own collection? Look no further! This a traditionally Polynesian Handcrafted piece highlighting two very important Polynesian Culture symbols; the whale and the sea turtle. This adjustable surfer cord goes up to 32” in length. Whales are a frequent subject in Polynesian lore too, where they appear as protectors and guides. The two strongest ones swim at the head of the group to protect the others, and the look of the two paired whales is told to have inspired the structure of Polynesian double-hulled seafaring canoes. The turtle or honu is a very important creature throughout all Polynesian cultures and has been associated with several meanings. The sea turtle symbolize health, fertility, longevity in life, foundation, peace and rest.
