I can say for certain it is not Marquesan, Hawaiian or Maori

The Snake depiction on the canoe and the design of the warriors suggests it is of "Asian" origin
I will need to do more research to narrow it down to which country.

It is not a Tiki design but would still look very cool in a home lounge.

At least I know a little bit more about it now, thank you! I agree that it looks very cool even though it isn't Tiki. It's currently on display on a shelf in my living room.

Hey CP, Datsa nice find! I wonder how it manage to sail through the North Sea?
Congratulations!

Thanks! It's not easy finding anything Tiki/South Pacific related up here in the icy wastes. Once in a blue moon I might find a Kon-Tiki item...it seems a lot easier to find African and Asian items.
