Vintage 1964 Coco Joe’s “Four Wise Menehune” Lava Sculpture – 7.5” Hawaiian Hawa

This is an original Coco Joe’s lava stone sculpture, titled “The Four Wise Menehune”, produced in Hawaii and copyrighted 1964. Cast in the company’s signature volcanic lava composite, the piece features four stacked Menehune figures, each rendered with expressive faces and distinctive character, forming a vertical totem-like composition. Coco Joe’s (Punaluu, Hawaii) was one of the most iconic makers of mid-century Hawaiiana art, producing lava cast tikis, goddesses, Menehune, and other mythic forms from the 1940s through the 1980s. This early-production design is among the more unusual Menehune sculptural forms and is sought by dedicated collectors for its whimsical interpretation of Hawaiian folklore.
