Holy Moly, it's the sacred idol, one of the principal Tiki icons of the mid-century, the De Young Museum/Trader Vic/Kona Kai/Sam's Seafood logo Tiki ! The flash makes it reflect so much that I can't tell if it's a half carving mounted on the orange background, or if it's a Vacu-form plastic one-piece. Indeed worthy of a shrine of its own.

It looks brand spanking new ! What's the intel on it?

it's vintage....but in pristine shape....it's a half vacuum form piece, entirely hollow, and made of all plastic, including the frame..has original richter sculpture sticker label on the back......I believe there were 2 styles.....this one (my fav) and a marquesan style one......i've seen both here on tiki central a longtime ago and patiently waited for the day when one would cross my path......I picked it up for a song on ebay a couple weeks back....
