Tiki I saw in a photo of the Bora Bora Room (Encino) at Oceanic Arts. I do not have my archive at hand, but I strongly believe this to be a vintage Oceanic Arts piece, maybe by Ed Crissman, or Richard Ellis. I am sure it hails from an old Tiki establishment. The owner must not know about Polynesian Pop, or he would not A) refer only to the traditional meaning of Tiki B) call this Tiki "Hawaiian" Maybe someone can ask about the history, where he got it from?
