Swinging her magical bamboo Snowflake Ko'o (wand), Poli'ahu happily skips over the hardened lava on the majestic Mauna Kea Volcano. She is enchanted by the beauty of the mountain and eager to share the blessing of her powerful Mana (spiritual energy) with her Ohana (family) and friends.

Poli’ahu is named after the Hawaiian Snow Goddess who resides on the summit of Mauna Kea (White Mountain), the greatest volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Pueo, the Hawaiian Owl, is Poli’ahu’s Aumakua (ancestral spirit) and her loyal companion. Pueo often reveals her miraculous powers and loving concerns to Poli'ahu. She appears whenever Poli'ahu calls on her, but Pueo also comes on her own at important times of change, when she knows that her advice is needed. Poli'ahu greets her with love and respect. Pueo gently chirps sweet songs and secret messages in Poli’ahu’s ear, guiding her even deeper into her place of inner stillness.

Like the Hawaiian Snow Goddess, Poli’ahu is dressed in a light blue dress with white snowflakes symbolizing a mantle of snow on the mountain. She wears white feather leis around her wrists and ankles. Her hair is adorned with a feather lei tiara much like the icicles on the summit of Mauna Kea and a Kupukupu (tree fern) and crystal flower. Hawaiian tree ferns represent spiritual strength, unity and love.

Poli'ahu is a 4” tall cloth doll fitting in the palm of your hand. She was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. Her body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face.

Poli’ahu is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her.

Pueo is about 1.5” tall. She is partly crocheted and made out of white faux fur and real feathers.

All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. Do not brush the hair!

Poli’ahu is an original design and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. Poli’ahu is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

Poli’ahu is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll. Every bit of her has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.
