North Pacific - General Tiki

But early Spanish mug makers also took other cultural groups art as a source of inspiration. Mostly South Pacific cultures, but some from the northern part of the Pacific Ocean too. Maybe this would fit better in the Pop Primitivism thread, but since this mugs were used in Tiki Bars to serve tasty combinados hawaianos, I feel it is part of Spanish Tikidom (but I don´t want to start a new discussion about the right definition of Tiki Style :)) Some american “Tiki” designs that seems to have this same North Pacific origin.
