Kalo // Colocasia esculenta
A charm for centering cultural values within your everyday.
Kalo, also called Taro, is a highly nutritious root vegetable considered sacred by Hawaiians. Since ancient days, Kalo was a staple food and grown in abundance. There were once more than 300 varieties of Kalo - less than a third of that remains today.
For context on the sacred nature of Kalo, refer to the creation story of Hāloa.⁂ Details ⁂

Notice : Pins are sharp/have small parts & are not intended for children. Please be aware of your safety and those around you. Pins are individually made by hand so some irregularity can be expected - no two pins are ~exactly~ the same.
*Deluxe Gold locking clasps are an excellent choice for those wanting extra security - the locking clasp keeps your pin in place and won’t accidentally fall off. No more lost pins! To open: lift top lip up with your nail to release clasp.
