It is amazing it survived, leaves are brittle. Was the seller a woman? We went tiki hunting in Loomis, California. Dan found two things, one is pretty special. The lady said that a world traveler who died 20 years ago brought this back from Tahiti. She said it originally had a key to the ladies room at the hotel. She talked them into selling it to her but the hotel kept the key. It even has the name of the person who made it. We, P. Nino. We believe it is stone due to it's weight but in reality it must be a dense plastic. Have any of you seen one of these before? Wendy
