Hi there,

My name is Patrick and Im from Germany. Im new in posting here, but already read a lot in the last weeks. I just have a short question:

Can somebody tell me what kind of Tiki this is and where Tikis like that were found:

The shop-owner told that it is a Maori-Tiki. But Im not sure, because I never saw one with a long head like that. Just some masks looking like that and they are from africa I think. Or is it just a fantasy-Tiki with no cultural background?
