Teko, TekoTeko, Tiki, Warrior, NZ guy, Maori guy, whatever, To call it a teko and have someone get bent out of shape by that is pretty PETTY. If it offends so much why not just say you would "prefer you to call this a tekoteko as it may be disrespectful not to"? It is Not a big deal it is a wood carving. Gman would you have more photos? I Love the detail on this guy?
