The Universal “Hang Loose” Shaka Sign Captured in Life-Like Bronze
This bronze statuette with a solid marble base honors Hamana Kalili, the father of the Hawaiian shaka hand sign. Famous in Hawaiian lore, Hamana originated the unique sign after he lost his three middle fingers in an industrial accident. The shaka can mean hello, how are you, hang loose and more. Raised letters around the base read “HAMANA KALILI AND THE SHAKA".
- 22-Inches High
- Made of Bronze
- Solid Marble Base
The famous award-winning photographer Kim Taylor Reece has studied Hawai'i's hula kahiko for 40 years and has created beautiful artworks to encapsulate the true Aloha spirit. Reece uses his colorblindness as an advantage to using a sepia tone to represent the timelessness of the dance.
