Finely carved Marquesan bowl ∿ Te Henua Enana

This finely carved coconut bowl displays traditional Marquesan symbols and motifs. There's a symbol of a manta ray (wisdom and trust), symbols of etua (divinity) as well as several layers of "a fence" around the symbols to strengthen the protection. To protect is very important throughout the Marquesas and it usually refers to family, identity, tradition, land, and nature. 

Elegant and eco-friendly, this hand-carved coconut bowl is great for the environment, and it displays unique pieces of history and culture from the beautiful South Pacific island of Nuku Hiva.

Beyond satisfied

I recently had the pleasure of acquiring this hand-carved tiki from Tangy & Ana in Nuku Hiva, and I can’t express how delighted I am with this beautiful piece! The craftsmanship is truly exceptional; you can see the love and skill that went into every detail. Each curve and carving tells a story, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region.

Tangy & Ana's attention to detail is remarkable. The tiki has a unique character that makes it a standout piece in my collection. It’s evident that they pour their heart into their work, and it certainly shows. I highly recommend their creations to anyone looking for a meaningful and stunning addition to their home. Thank you, Tangy & Ana, for sharing your artistry with the world!

Beautiful!

It's great to be able to support a local artist who creates such wonderful artwork.

Outstanding commission!

After admiring the artwork on this site for some time I reached out to see if they would consider creating a piece similar in style to a previously sold piece I liked. Tangy and Ana went above and beyond and were kind enough to make an incredible Tiki Tama for me. The communication and shipping throughout was exceptional. I would highly encourage anyone interested to reach out as sculpture of this quality is not easy to find.
