The stairs has been sold as well but the story board carving all along is beautiful. Next to is is the prow of a full crocodile canoe." (See above post for more detail) This is worn by the chief on his head during singsings below, woven fiber, natural pigments, boar tusks, cassowary feathers, nassa and cowrie shells. Again great headgear for a night on the town. "...as well as accessories of pig teeth below" "...and this wonderful necklace with an ancestor's head for protection." "Now a final treat for all tiki lovers, a rare poster bed from Timor. Completely handcarved throughout. Hard to see it as we use it for a display in my daughter's store that sells accessories but it is gorgeous. Came with a straw roof that we could not bring back. Used outside for timor naps or inside for florida naps! Only a portion is seen here. Hard to photograph the whole thing." "...and in the center of the bed is what all tiki fans must have, hah, hah, a tiki bar all handcarved with totem columns and a straw roof, indeed a miniature of the bed."
