This is an example of pidgin a “Titta bun” being a hairstyle for many local women. It’s printed onto a wooden plaque as a sellable object so it’s more a permanent decoration in someone’s house used to attract more local customers.

This is an example of Hawaiian, giving many words that are pretty central to local/Hawaiian culture. It’s a painted plaque so probably a more permanent decoration. It’s probably an appealing item for both locals and tourists.
