I did a little shopping before work today.

Kate! Please relate: HOW and WHERE, and for how much did you find those Cannibal Carvings! They look original, and in excellent condition! Please show more photos. Do they have lathe marks underneath? The find of a century.

Wow, BigBro! I bought these two because I thought they were cool, not realizing what they were. I paid $5.00 for the Surf God & $10.00 for the War God. I was only entertaining the thought of painting the War God because I didn't know what it was. I thought because it was painted gold that it must have been a homemade item. Do you think that is the original finish? It's actually like a gold over brown. As always, thanks for your input & continuing to further my Tiki education.

Ooooh, I didn't realize it was GOLD. Yeah, I think that's original. Here are my thoughts on the Golden Tiki concept:
