« Ruahätu » god of the oceans.
This is an art commission by the Ministry of Culture of Tahiti island.
The artist tempted to recreate an ancient Ti’i from memorable times.
Elements from the face or the body are just barely visible, giving an impression that it has been worn by time.  A symbolic sea urchin leads to understand that this is an artistic representation of the Ruahätu god.

Now present on the archeological site of Marae Mahaiatea in Papara (Tahiti island)
