Hi, How is everyone doing? Im new here and have been fascinated with vintage items my whole life and just found my first Tiki, it's an interesting wood carved Tiki that is signed "Kimi" on the bottom. It stands about 12 1/4" tall. Does anyone have any idea what type it is or any other information on the carver? Thank you, Nick

I would bet it's a Tahitian tourist carving, and a real nice one, IMO! The tiki style is Marquesan.
Was there a second pic in your post that isn't showing up? I'd like to see it, if you can fix it...

Somebody more authoritative may chime in on this, but I hated seeing you hanging without any answer.
