Double your luck with this honu plate wrapped in ti-leaves and lauhala basket. It is believed in Hawaiian legend that if a turtle enters your home it brings with it the deep wisdom of the sea and the gifts of relaxation and longevity. It is also believed that the "ti" plant is used as a symbol of good luck, and to receive a fresh "ti" leaf lei or any symbol of the "ti" plant, consider it a blessing of good fortune.
One of Hawaii's most popular and useful plants, the "ki"or "ti" pronounced "tee" plant was regarded as a healing plant by ancient Hawaiians and used as a symbol of good luck. The "ti" grows abundantly throughout the Islands and was thought to be brought to Hawaii originally by the first Hawaiian settlers. The "ti" plants traveled all the way from the South Pacific to bring the travelers good luck. The "ti" leaf is used in Hawaiian cooking, decorating, as gift wrap; the pliable leaves are made into hula skirts, capes and a myriad of other valuable items.
That essence of Hawaii and the honu, or sea turtle, are represented on this beautifully handmade glass plate through Hawaiian petroglyphs. Petroglyphs are images recorded on stone by ancient people, found in many caves throughout the Hawaiian islands. The amber color of the glass paired with the petroglyphs symbolizes this ancient ritual. Bring the luck, grace, and history of the honu into your home or office with this wonderful piece!
