Hawaiian temple statue carved from the "trunk of the 'ohi'a tree. These images guarded royal tombs; some are considered warrior figures. The drum is made of sharkskin and a priest beat out rhythms to notify villagers of temple ceremonies". Unposted, printed by Koppel and distributed by Christian Color Card Services, Inc., Honolulu. Chris-A-Tone Card. The temple image stands against a pastel peachy-pink background next to the drum amid tropical plants. In very good vintage condition-see zoom photos for detail.
