$0.00
Hawaii
Height 2 1/2” Width 3 1/2”
Provenance: E.C. Holstein collection
This most important royal artifact from King Kamehameha III is from the E.C. Holstein collection. When found in 1898 it was described as “a very rare thing” and a “big offer” was made for it, according to the clipped newspaper article from September 21, 1989, which accompanies this piece.
This is one of the rarest pieces I have had the pleasure of offering in 40 years of handling Hawaiian artifacts.
