This handcrafted wooden ornament, created by a local artist from Guam, depicts the latte stone—a cultural icon of the Chamorro people, the indigenous inhabitants of Guam. Originally used as foundation pillars to support elevated houses, latte stones today symbolize the wisdom and craftsmanship of the Chamorro community and stand as a proud emblem of Guam’s heritage.
