Polynesian Vahiné Gourd – Pebble Size

Polynesian Vahiné Gourd – Handcrafted decoration in a pebble shape.

This Polynesian Vahiné Calabash depicts a Polynesian woman in a simple, warm style. The pebble shape of the calabash gives it a soft, stable presence as a decorative item, with a balanced visual effect. The acrylic paint is applied by hand for a bright, vibrant finish.

Tamanu and loofah: natural materials, signature detail.

The body is made of calabash. The tamanu nut head adds a real touch of texture. The loofah (vegetable sponge) crown adds texture and captures the light, immediately setting this piece apart. The whole piece rests on a wooden base for stability.

Easy to place, immediate effect.

On a console table, shelf, coffee table, or in a display case, it works very well with wood, fibers, rattan, wickerwork, and sand tones. It is a decorative piece that catches the eye without overloading the space—the kind of object that takes you on a journey without a suitcase. A Polynesian piece to give as a gift or keep for yourself!

Display suggestion: place it on a small stack of art books or a low stand to raise it slightly and highlight the loofah crown.
