There are other non-Tiki, Indonesian faces on some of the big ones out there, but this one is especially cool. Glad you approve, bigbro. My set is signed by a Peter Mellick of Ashland, Wisconsin. I know nothing about him, so I'm not sure exactly what style he was working in here, but as I said, I can see definite Native American influences in the faces. I also thought it was unusual that he did a knife and spoon, as opposed to a fork and spoon. I'd never seen that before.
