Petroglyph is a word that comes from the Greek words, "petros", for rock and 'glyphen", to carve. Literally, petroglyphs are rock carvings. The ancient Hawaiians called them ki'i pohaku or stone images.

The eternal bond of the family was essential in ancient Hawaiian society. Children and family petroglyphs are very common and can be found in many petroglyph fields.

"This carving is made from Chinese Quartzite and has a beautiful golden color.  There is a textured grain to the stone which runs horizontal across the piece."
