Would this be considered tiki? If we use the guidelines of being 'hand carved, wooden, tribal, spiritual image[s] from an island in the Pacific' could we consider this Philippine carved crucifix a tiki?

What Sven has stated so simply in the past was, “If it says ‘tiki’ on it, there should be tiki in it.” So no, not everything that goes into a tiki bar miraculously undergoes a sudden transformation to become "tiki."
