New to Group. Hi everyone. Ive been searching high and low to find any historical perspective or just any info about this particular wood carving tiki necklace. This used to be worn in the 1950's together with a Hawaiian/tiki shirt but I have yet to discover the name for this particular type of necklace, most probable origin, and where I can possibly find one like it. The obvious thing I love about it is the fantastic expression on the mask. Ive google'd for days and never seen one remotely similar to this one. What I know for a fact is that it is vintage, and most probably mid-century.

At any rate, any heads up is cheerfully accepted.
