Little Pig 
Length: 12"
This self-satisfied little fellow is one of the many embodiments of the pua`a (pig),
which has a prominent role in Hawaiian mythology. Kamapua`a, (kah-mah-poo-AH-ah) was able to
change from a handsome, mischievous boy into many manifestations of the pig, including cute
little playful ones, pig-monsters capable of defeating entire armies, and even the kukui tree,
which has leaves shaped like pig's ears, and the famous humuhumunukunukuahupua`a (trigger-
fish),
This piece was created for Marlenajon's mother as a keepsake.
