I think it's very cool and modernist. Maybe the body could use just one little touch, like arm lines, or crossed hands, to suggest it's not just a head on a stone, to unify the two. I would put it in my yard, stone carvings are quite rare! I am sure many that looked would like to have it, too.

But the main problem here (that I repeatedly notice) seems to be that the majority of Tiki-philes are not financially flush enough to drop 325.- on a Tiki. Not that it is not worth it! But with the current over-availability of Tikis in general (partly because of the cheap Poly-Asian import kind!) quality carvings get left behind, which is unfortunate for the talented sculptors out there. There is a market for the good stuff, but no money, it seems.
