Manō   (Shark)

Manō, in the Hawaiian language, refers specifically to a man-eating shark. So of course my origami representation of manō must feature its teeth! I toyed with many design approaches to shark before deciding on this particular one. 


Sharks are folded from a single square.

Finished model:  18" long x 6-1/2 inches high x 3 inches wide.  $160.
