Capture the essence of vintage Hawaii with this 6.25-inch Hula Girl musician nodder from the 1940s-50s. Handcrafted in Japan and complete with the original foil "Made in Japan" sticker, this charming nodder features a red top, a vibrant pink and red lei, and a traditional straw skirt. She serenades with her ukulele, while a small pineapple at her ankle adds a whimsical touch to the scene. Her gentle movement and warm expression embody the relaxed, joyful spirit of island life. We've named her Malia.
