Summary

Description

English: Coat of arms of the Hawaiian monarchy, designed by the High Chief Hoapili (mistake in text, actually Haalilio) during the reign of Kamehameha III. A modification is now the official symbol of the State of Hawaii. This photograph was made directly from a painting on wood by Paul Emmert of the coat of arms design, which came into the possession of Commander Victor Houston, U. S. N., a member of the Brickwood family of Hawaii, from the Robert Crichton Wyllie collection.
