These Koa Spear Tip Wood Charms are laser engraved with intricate details and made from sustainably sourced Koa wood. These charms are lightweight, yet they capture the natural beauty and strength of Hawaii.
In many Pacific cultures, including Hawaiian, the spear tip symbol is associated with warriors and represents strength, courage, and combat prowess. It's a symbol of protection, asserting the wearer's ability to defend themselves and their community. In tattoos, these spear tip patterns, also known as 'niho mano', can resemble shark teeth, further symbolizing adaptability, ferocity, and guidance in navigating life's challenges.
The use of this symbol in art and tattoos is a testament to the enduring cultural importance of these themes in Pacific Islander heritage, reflecting a deep connection to ancestral warrior traditions and the spiritual beliefs intertwined with them.
