I thought all you Tiki lovers might like to see some of their vast collection, and stunning displays. There is a small ivory Tiki pendant, a large collection of greenstone tikis, and two pics of the famous Kaitaia Lintel, dug out of swamp mud. I have a quicky replica I carved of this over my backyard gate in Turangi. Enjoy, Louie the Fish! (www.louiethefish.com)
