I recall seeing a number of pictures of Marquesan Tikis that appear to be holding a smaller tiki or head in their hands or even carved into their belly or chest. Does anyone know the signifincance or meaning behind this style? Now that I search for pictures like this I can't seem to find any.
Is this an authentic style, or a modern interpretation?
