Hi All,

My boss recently came back from Australia for a work meeting. I was fortunate enough that he brought me back a tiki mask from the Torres Straits islands, because he knows that I'm a huge tikiphile.

Anyways, all we know is that it's from the Torres Islands, but we don't know what god it is, or what it signifies.

If any one has information, I would greatly appreciate it. I attached a picture of my humble tiki collection and the Melanesian mask.

Thanks,
