Nononono! I am saying is show me the stylistic elements that are Polynesian or Oceanic in the shapes, Tatoo patterns and colors in those renderings that would make them Tiki --- and not just faces with teeth and goofy expressions. And that without any of these elements present, there is no cause to call these figures TIKI, because TIKI is a term used in a specific, complex cultural context. |
