Kealopikoʻs Leho
The gorgeously feminine leho (cowry) with itʻs beautifully plump and round decorated top, and its toothed slit on the bottom side pretty much screams out sexy. The most famous use of this shell by our kupuna was in luhee (octopus lures). The male pohaku (stone) and the female leho, locked in a loverʻs embrace, dance via the skilled hand of the fisherman to seduce the tee (octopus) which becomes so aroused that it must "honi" (kiss) the shell, and when it does, the fisherman yanks firmly upward, lodging the kākala (hook) into the heʻe. Prized luhee were often named for an ancestor in a family and handed down. Hawaii boasts 35 species of leho, nine of which are endemic and many species belonging to the genera Cypraea and Lyncia.
