ʻumeke lāʻau
While calabash vessels were generally used in ancient Hawai'i, finely crafted wooden bowls were reserved for the higher ranks of Hawaiian society. The value of these vessels is also indicated by the repairs that were made to damaged bowls. This bowl has a total of three almost invisible repairs. Text: Ulrich Menter
