I know where Janet's shopping. You should send me a thank-you card for leaving that tiki and the Coco Joe's statues for you. I came this close to buying them. :)

And I surely do thank you! It's my favorite Austin store. If I had unlimited funds I could spend bunches of money there.

Do you know anything about that statue?

It's a pretty common Ku design. I bought one very similar to yours from the same shop around Christmas time. It sat in that store for months before I finally decided I wanted it enough to pay $35 for it. About a month ago, there was another one for sale, also marked $35. It disappeared pretty quickly. Yours is the third I've seen in that store in the last year.

I believe the statue may have been manufactured by Orchids of Hawaii. More info can be found on this thread: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=24293&forum=5&hilite=orchids%20of%20hawaii%20catalog
