The Queen is endowed with humility and wisdom. Noble, kind and self-contained, she is guided by her ancestors and the nature gods, as well as her duty. She is compassionate and grants forgiveness. She is quietly dignified, as you can see. The necklace she wears is the Lei Niho Palaoa, a whale's tooth pendant held in place with the woven hair of one's ancestors; it tell all who see it that upon this person's tongue rests the law of the land. From the series Images of Hawaii - The Royal Court.
Boy you don't want to mess around with the queen... This is a very powerful image, looks like the sun didn't hurt on this one... What is the hook around the neck for ? Is this a ceremonial queen or is she for real. Nice image...
