The Fisherman #6
Fishing was a
crucial part of ancient Hawaiian life. Fishermen
used the moon to plan their fishing expeditions and
used rituals to ensure good catches. Hawaiians made
fishing line out of olona (a native shrub) and hooks
were made from shell or bone.
The back of the carving features a history of the
petroglyph and a short artist bio. The piece is also
signed and dated by the artist.
"This stone has beautiful color with bands of
translucent white quartzite. The type of stone is
called Golden Ray Chinese Quartzite."
