There is a fine carving tradition in Bali, with generations of skilled carvers, which is based on their Hinduist and Buddhist beliefs, but with no connection to authentic Polynesian, or mid-century Polynesian pop traditions --you can see it in the rounded-off hands and features in the carvings. The whole thing started when Doug Nason had the first Poly Pop Tikis copied by a Philippine carver. But throughout the early 2000s, visitors to Bali saw no evidence in carving and tourist shops. Until in the mid-2000s, when I received reports of rows and rows of Tiki carvings in carving shops in Bali. It seems an invasive species had been introduced to a tropical paradise.
