Some decent stuff this week...

Favorite find: Tahitian tiki bowl

Kneeling female tahitian tiki and another spearless guy:

A couple of standing Maori tikis:

Wall mount Maori Hei Tiki:

Treasure Craft tiki:

"Tiki" novel:

Coco Joe's pele:

Zombie Hut Sacto,CA matchbook:

I also picked up a mini lizard skin drum that looked way out of place in a jeweler's display case:

I usually don't buy stuff that I can't identify, but a lizard skin mini drum was too cool to pass up, even if it turns out it came from Ugoslavia.

Anyone out there know where it's from?

I was hoping it was PNG?

If it helps, it looks similar in style and wood type to this alligator I got a few years back:

Does anyone know anything about the alligator's origin as well?

My unrefined eye thought it was Maori when I bought it. I now know that's definitely not the case.

Don't make me start my own thread about these! And thanks in advance...

Totally true! I saw a KU backscratcher today that I'd never seen before. I never saw that nutcracker before either...

Buzzy Out!
