This image was taken from a book I have on Hawaiian sculpture.  However, there are feather images of the war good Kukailimoku at the Bishop Museum in Hawaii that have the upward sweep to the eyes and would make a better comparison.  Unfortunately, I can't get a hold of a picture to post up.

This dancer was taken from a card by Himani and published by Island Heritage Publishing.  I wanted to show an image of a dancer with the ti leaf around the neck, elbows and knees, but was unable to find a suitable picture.  However, I think this one gives you an idea into the Hawaiian design of Pineapple Man.
