I figured that y'all would be interested as well in seeing more Witco even if it's not strictly Tiki in subject matter. Sadly, we don't have nearly enough room for all these cool pieces and we'll have to let some go soon. Some of my favorites:

Sven says "musical instrument." I say "modernist abstraction."

Much more modern than primitive is "MoonCity."

A bit more primitive is "voodoo"...

...which reminds me a bit of this piece that I love because it reminds me of the work of Alexander Girard:

This piece is pretty remarkable. The depth and complexity (both of the carving and forced perspective) is wonderful and the little details like the metal cross and painted sun are just great.

Boats you ask?! We have boats, whether you are a viking:

...or want to sail the tall ships:

Maybe you are a Spanish conquistador? You probably need these. (Think I should challenge Basement Kahuna and his weapons? Maybe not.)

You'd probably want an image of your king and queen as well:

...and maybe these too:

If you are a lover rather than a fighter, perhaps a musical instrument to serenade your sweetie?

Where do you put all those pesky magazines? Why, in your llama of course.

You can watch a flock of geese fly by:

... or a parade of cats:

Me, I'm partial to these cats:

Your cat might like this fish:

And you simply have to love this cute little turtle. We bought this at the Hala Kahiki gift shop ages ago. He still has his price tag.

This guy will help light the way:

... and this firetool holder will help you stoke those flames:

Just don't let this big guy scare you in the dark:

I find this Balinese dancer's moves very exotic:

So you see, there really is something for everyone. All in all, it's a very Witco world!
