great pictures, I love to see the different tikis of the old skool. THe slit in the tiki is a characteristic of the New Hebrides Isles. They were ancestor spirits, which visually represented the spirit and also "verbaly" represented the ancestor. The noise made from the drum represented the "breath" and voice of the relative. I have one on the drawing board, just waiting to be carved.. |
