Seriously though, it looks hand-made and Mayan. Not tiki. Well I don't recognize it as Mayan, nor any particular style I have seen through the Americas, but it certainly looks Meso-American. I don't know as I would go so far to that it is "not tiki", but I would say it certainly is not a poly-pop piece :wink: I should start a thread "What is Tiki?" as I have LOTS of cool stuff from the Pan-Pacific region that many might be consider Tiki, but is not of the poly pop genre. I mean if Easter Island is Tiki, is Peruvian/Inca? Wasn't that what Thor H. tried to prove?
