Never saw that toad Tiki ashtray before, or the little Moais mentioned by Jeff. I photographed that Tiki statue in Lee Henry's desk, and it's little engraved brass plate inscribed "HITIKI by J.J. Hite", it's on the 2nd Kahiki page in the BOT. A fine example of Tiki Modern, lucky Jeffy snagged it at the auction, what a prize. Other than the (original ones in the B&W photo) restroom faucet Tikis, I believe Mr. Hite also did that basement lava wall Moai, and assorted Moai that stood in the Kahiki gardens outside.
