The Mai Tai mug is a fine example of modern primitive pottery. The Kauai Surf had one of my favorite matchbook logo Tikis: I did not use it for the BOT because it was of island origin, but I will use it for the Look of Tiki, with a postcard (who can post that here?) that has the same Marquesan face emblazoned on ceramic lamp cylinders in the hotel's lobby! That wooden Tiki Caesar is funny, judging by its design which is sort of Marquesan I am guessing it is a tourist Tiki from Tahiti, where they do have the custom of wearing green leaf wreaths like that.
