My family had this green mug up in a cupboard. It was sort of a Moai/fishing god hybrid. It came with us on the move from Naples when I was a baby, so it is from the late 60s, at least. My mother does not remember where it originally came from.

My most recent was a statue, a birthday gift from my beloved. It is black, wood, and carved in a nontraditional sort of style, entirely angular.

So I did not buy either of those. They are my only tikis, so far. I am sort of new. I do have a lot of albums from junks shops, though.

OOPS Edit: My most recent purchase was a bunch of those cups from Big Lots. Also, a guy that I know sells various unusual items and he got in a bunch of necklaces with tiki charms. I will be picking up some of those when he gets back to town.
