Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

When I asked if they had any other Hawaiian articles they said the week before they had sold a beautiful handcarved bowl from Hawaii for $5.00. It was the only antique/thrift store I went into while I was visiting my grandmother so the fact I found anything is amazing. The back says, "Made in Hawaii BEAUTIES WITH BLACK CORAL from the deep tropical seas of Hawaiian Islands". Frank Schirman? I found the same carving online and on TC, but none of them were mounted on tapa cloth. You never know where you will find treasures!
