Here's another carving that inspired one of the Disney tiki babies, a Rurutu god carving. As you can see from the small carved figure on the left chest area it resembles another one of the Disney tiki babies. This carving is also shown in other book discussed in this forum, Oceanic Art by H. Tischner. It's so interesting how genuine pieces of Oceanic Art did inspire the Poly Pop movement from Oceanic Arts of CA to Disney. Lowbrow?, I don't think so :)
