A friend of mine with a beautiful example of Papio Maka Liʻiliʻi or Small Eyed Jack/trevally. The secret to creating a beautiful design is really stretching the string with splayed fingers and he has wonderfully large hands that can separate well at the fingers. The figure, Papio Maka Liʻiliʻi, represents a disinterested suitor. An interested suitor has large eyes. That figure is Papio Maka Nui or Large Eyed Jack and is two eyes. The Hawaiian method for creating two eyes is unique to the islands and not found elsewhere.
