That's really STRANGE. Is it one solid piece? Cause if it is, the carver had loads of talent, despite the Spock ears, etc.

And how old ya think it is?

I say it was a goofy weekend project by a pro Hawaiian Tiki carver, probabaly from the - what - 1950s??? He didn't finish the right eye, which tells me he did the whole thing for fun, and probably kept it for himself instead of knocking it out for a restaurant.

The whole piece is one big question mark. What's up with the feet? What's that crap all over them? Has he been walking around in the mud?

It's freakin' interesting, Ku.
