Good Tiki find BK.

I have seen that same one as a stand alone (non-fountain) tiki. The one I saw was in fairly pristine shape and it resembled a Witco, but I haven't seen that style actually catalogued. If it's not catalogued by Witco (Keigs, any idea?), then maybe it was done by an ex-Witco employee? Either way, it is a fantastic find!

Question: is the "box" under the water well a possible replacement piece? The picture shows quite a difference in the wood in comparing the tiki, the well, and the supporting box. The carving also doesn't seem as deep. It could just be the picture.

We all would love to see how it comes out after you get it all cleaned up.
