The max produced tiki could be intricate,crazy lookin and just plane out awsome! but I would like the tiki from the artist! I have purched machine made items at OA which are nice small tikis and mask but if it's a 2" and up tiki, I prefer one by an artist...crazy al, bosko, leroy. There is more mana in a hand carved one. This is my opinion only though, others might like the machine made tiki.
