Looks like a dilukai figure from Micronesia, which would be placed above the entrance to the Men's house (bai). I have a few pictures of them from Pelau (Belau). Nice work, the drum hides her hoohoo... haha! She's flanked by figures just as Dilukai usually is, nice! I never realized the enchanted tiki room had a bit of Micronesian influence as well as Poly and Melanesian, your version made me see it in a new light. Great carvings! edited for oh yeah the enchanted tiki room... [ Edited by: Sneakytiki 2006-03-27 08:42 ]
