The bowl of Kou wood, in classical and delicate form, with numerous native restorations done in typical form to the sides and bottom; the grain displaying beautifully, probably C. 1820's. The lid carved probably C. 1880's and of a slightly darker wood, though matched carefully as to the grain. Together with a copy of original sheet music by the Queen called "Kuu Pua I Padakalani" (My flower at Padakalani). A rare and historical lot.
Provenance: From the personal collection of the Hawaiian royal family, formerly owned by Queen Liliokolani
