Large Hand-Carved Hibiscus-Wood Whale Tail Sculpture

Hafa Adai, Aloha and Talofa!!! Thank you for visiting my small island shop and for supporting small businesses like ours! This listing is for a large handcarved whale tail. It is made with solid sea hibiscus wood. It measures just 12” x 10” - perfect for a large bookcase, desk or table decor and definitely a conversation piece. 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.
