Hawaiian Painting on Tapa Cloth Octopus Tako He’e Polynesian Drawing, Hawaiiana Tropical Decor, buying Tiki Bar

Striking Polynesian painting on handmade tapa cloth, a swirling octopus, or he'e in Hawaiian, and tako in Japanese. In wonderful condition, hand crafted in Hawaii!

This is a beautiful tropical decor piece, a handsome octopus in an abstract Polynesian design. There is so much fantastic detail to the many patterns in the eight swirling legs. Four symbolic honu, or turtles, are lined on the left side. It is hand painted on local tapa cloth. Hawaiian tapa is not a woven material, but made from bark that has been softened through a process of soaking and beating. It is framed under glass which measures 10 by 8 inches. The sides of the simple plastic frame are rimmed with additional strips of woven bark cloth. It is signed on the bottom by the artist and is in excellent condition free of buying scratches, chips, or stains.

This was purchased on Hawaii's Big Island, fabulous tropical decor for any room in the house or tiki bar. A great addition to any Hawaiiana collection!
