Authentic Poepoe Woven Shell Lei

An astonishing handwoven antique Lei from the island of Hawaii. Deeply intricate and very unusual, it has a back bone of cowrie to which other native shells are attached. Fantastic for a dancer or groom, or for a life celebration. True Vintage, 40’s or 50’s, strung on filament, which is showing its age. Has one section of shell loss, I will add a photo before this listing goes live. This is a historic piece, not made for the tourist trade, filled with ocean magic and a powerful masculine energy. Colors of white, cream, brown, tan. From a smoke free home, will be sent with great care. Questions, bundles and offers are always welcome! Thanks for stopping into my Posh shop. I adore real shell jewelry and carry an assortment including niihau momi, kahelelani, pikake bridal necklaces, real rolled lip surfer puka, tribal heishi, Tahitian bridal pieces and Raratonga li. If you are on the hunt for something specific, please ask- I may just have it in the vaults waiting to be listed.
