Ku is the Hawai’ian god of war. He is one of the most popular images used in Tiki carvings. What sets him apart from other Polynesian gods is his elaborate headdress. One of the most beautiful and authentic Tiki mugs I own is this Ku crafted by Maï Baï in Paris France. I previously showed you her Seahorse Bowl, which was also a real work of art. What I love about Baï’s creations is the attention to detail she puts into her sculpting. For Ku, she shows him taking a knee, preparing for battle. I can almost hear the Hawai’ian War Chant playing in the background. Bien joué, merci Maï Baï!
