Actually this is an inaccurate interpretation of a Lono – Ancient Tiki God of Fertility and Peace
and not of a Ku – Ancient Tiki God of War, It is mixing some of the characteristics of other
traditional Hawaiian Tikis but not accurately reproducing it in a historical sense.

But hey, what do the experts here think?

A 4 foot Tiki for $5,800, what a steal :P
What would Buzzy or Crazy Al carve for 5,800 Clams?
I bet Bamboo Ben could do a real nice Tiki Lounge for that amount.....

Please correct me when I'm wrong, I don't have as many resources as most of you do to figure out all of the carvings. As far as the pricing goes, I know it's steep but there is hundreds of hours of work into these carvings, for each one.
