The rendering, I can only guess. Perhaps Al Kocab painted it when the carving was on order and was guessing. I have a few pictures of it. One I can date to ~1963. The end of that Tiki came in the dead of the night, when someone came with a crane and stole it! It's in a backyard in South FL somewhere probably waiting to be re-discovered. Perhaps the very elderly thief who knows the real story has kept it out of site, and when they pass, it will come to light...
