Kamehameha Statue (Honolulu cast) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kamehameha Statue (Honolulu cast) The Kamehameha I statue (Honolulu cast) is an outdoor sculpture by American artist Thomas Ridgeway Gould, erected in 1883. The first cast in the series Kamehameha I statue (original cast) is located in North Kohala on the island of Hawaii. The second cast stands outside the Aliiōlani Hale government building in Honolulu, located on the island of Oahu. Made of cast brass, it depicts Kamehameha I and has become a recognizable cultural symbol for the Hawaiian Islands. ==Description==
The statue is an over-sized brass cast of King Kamehameha I, the ruler credited with unifying the Hawaiian Islands in the early nineteenth century and establishing the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1810. The surface is two-toned, finished with a dark brown chemical patina with gilded (See gilding) garments. Erected in 1883, it was commissioned as a replacement for Kamehameha the Great (original cast), which had been commissioned to celebrate the centennial of Captain James Cook’s arrival to the Hawaiian Islands. It was placed in front of the Aliiōlani Hale government building in Honolulu, the spot intended for the original cast, and remains there to this day.
