Contrary to a book, what is interesting is that you can see how a tiki's back looks like... Interesting for a carver ! A maori knife/ scarificator : Some tikis (Marq and Rapanui/Easter Island) near the Cafe/ restaurant "Les ombres" : Only a few pix of the exhibition that shows hundreds more... but to take pix in museums it is often forbidden in France. My cell was hidden behind a magazine :wink: Mahalo, Benjamin.
