Made in Hawaii, Hawaiian Head Bust, Made by Kaikane Mahelona

Made in Hawaii, Hawaiian Head Bust, Made by Kaikane Mahelona. Here is a lovely vintage Polynesian-Hawaiian young girl head bust from the 1960s by an artist in Hawaii. She is a beauty with long black hair adorned with two pretty soft red hibiscus flowers along one side of her head. Her lips are a flesh tone. This is a beautiful example of a handmade, and made in Hawaii Polynesian girl head bust. She is about eight inches tall, and is much like the Marwai type Polynesian busts of that era. She is made of fine porcelain and there are no chips or cracks. She has the most remarkable serine and stately pose, and she is exquisitely hand painted by a local Hawaiian artist. These mid-century Polynesian bust are now highly sought after by people using modernist Danish Modern Hawaiian tiki décor. She really makes a beautiful statement, and this one of a kind bust is a great find. These older Hawaiian Holland type molds are become very rare these days as more people are starting to collect these items for their collections. Kaikane Mahelona started designing and working with head busts in 1932. He first worked only in wood. Kaikane was well known for his ceremonial mask that he made and sold to the tourist back in those days. He made his first ceramic Hawaiian head bust in the year 1938. His first mold of a porcelain head bust was made in 1940; it was a very remarkable Hawaiian or Polynesian girl with the Hibiscus flower in her hair, this soon became a standard form on the Island to sell to tourist. Kaikane Mahelona used a special mixture of porcelain known only on Hawaii in his ceramic material with a finer power clay material made by a special heating process that had a less glassy finish and was more porous so the paint would absorb more evenly on the bust. #hawaiianheadbust # tikidécor #arthurlyman #polynesian #mahelona #hawaiian
