"Some tiki aficionados have a more modern view/take on tiki. I do not."

Would not call it new, Don the Beachcombers had the three Cannibal tiki so did The Mai Kai right?

Man if that aint old school.

Kahiki too had a skull mug.

Plus I can remember the story about Cannibal killing finally revealed: The gruesome details of how Rockefeller heir was gutted and cooked by the Asmat tribe of New Guinea.

So the whole jungle tribe thing was hot.

These guys who built these places were not building a museum, they were decorating a restaurant as best they could.
Most of them would not have anything like tiki décor at home.

These Kahiki masks have a Mexican look I think.
And they may have come from Mexico as Bill Sapp said they went there for décor.
Even the last carving here has a Mexi look I think but all together in the Kahiki it looked great!

Plus even MORE skull mugs, Hawaii Kai come on that's old school right.
Forget where the small skull is from.
