For example . . I found this roughly three-foot tall carving in an area antique mall window. It's described as an African totem, but it sure looks Marquesan to me. The eyes, ears and nose especially. The carving isn't particularly well executed, so I passed on the $225 price tag. But the question remains . . Tiki? Or not Tiki?
