of X-eyes and neckties - General Tiki

So, is there an ethnic origin for the "X", or was it an invention of commercial sculptors? Sorry if this has been covered before, but it's kind of a hard topic to search due to all the references to X-eyed mugs. Also, am I mistaken or is this supposed to be a necktie on another Sam's tiki? Whats up with that? http://www.thelope.blogspot.com [ Edited by: tikijackalope 2006-04-06 02:49 ]
