Hawai’i Flag Paperweight

Bring the spirit of the islands and the rich history of the monarchy to your desk with this unique paperweight featuring the Flag of Hawaiʻi (Ka Hae Hawaiʻi). The Hawaiian flag is the only U.S. state flag to feature the national flag of a foreign country (the United Kingdom's Union Jack), a tribute to the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi's historical alliance and friendship with Great Britain in the early 19th century. Symbolism and Design: The Union Jack: Located in the canton (upper-left corner), it acknowledges the historical ties and alliances forged by King Kamehameha I. Eight Horizontal Stripes: These stripes alternate white, red, and blue, and represent the eight major inhabited Hawaiian Islands: Hawaiʻi (the Big Island), Maui, Oʻahu, Kauaʻi, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Niʻihau, and Kahoʻolawe. A Symbol of Sovereignty: This flag has flown over the Kingdom, the Republic, and the Territory of Hawaiʻi, and remains a powerful symbol of unity and the unique, sovereign history of the islands. This paperweight is an ideal item for a home office, a unique souvenir for those who love the Aloha State, or a sophisticated gift for vexillology enthusiasts.
