Do you realize that your page is quite funny, with the "NEW TIKI!" right next to the pix of this obviously time trodden statue? I like it. You should display it in a setting that emphasizes the "Lost civilization" effect: Set the the Tiki in a tilted angle, get long stone column and brake it in three parts, lay them down at it's foot, Get a palm and set it in the opposite angle than the Tiki, in the style of the "Shelter Isle Abandoned Village" landscaping (BOT page 214). As for the heritage, I can't say the site, and the only style it reminds me of would be Charlie Rosencrans, BOT page 251, right above the page number. There is another Tiki, possibly by him, underneath the sign of the Sea & Jungle Shop, BOT page 234. Take some pix of him to Leroy at OA, they just helped me again identify the creator of a fiberglass drum I found in Palm Springs (he died this January, but his wife is still alive)
