Mister bigshot? My name is Lori and I do not have an art school degree. :) I have always liked the macabre so carved skulls falls under weird crap I like.
Here's some fun trivia, the ancient Hawaiians used to use the skulls of warriors they killed as chamber pots.
That is enough derailing of the tiki finds thread.

Yeah, that was probably only funny to anyone that's ever heard Zombo on the radio. Weird guy. Great guy, but weird, in the best way. I was being a smarty-pants. And I DO have an art degree. But the Ren Clark supposition was limiting myself to ceramic human heads/tiki. Those old vases are cool though, that you posted. It kind of draws a connection to the African stuff that the Trader Vic's Kona Grog Mug is based on. You mention of the macabre just gave me a good idea. I think I'm going to do shrunken head straws, for tiki drinks. "Real" shrunken heads on "bamboo" straws. As long as you don't get the hair in the mug, that'll look awesome!
