Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Govenor Boki of Oahu and his Wife Liliha, pastel drawing by John Hayter, c. 1860.
"In the main Polynesian room of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum at Honolulu, among the spears and the canoes and the surfboards, there hangs a double portrait. A young Hawaiian chief appears, clad in the feather cape and crested warrior's helmet of the ancient age. Close to his side stands a native woman in traditional dress. A garment of kapa is thrown loosely over her body, exposing her left breast. She wears a heavy necklet of braided human hair with a whale-tooth pendant. As artist's subjects, the two Hawaiians are perfect to the point of banality: physically imposing, firm-fleshed, and richly handsome. They look out from the portrait with a dignity that is pleasant enough, if faintly sentimental."[1]
