Does anyone know the origins of this Tahitian/Marquesan bench found in Trader Vic's Emeryville? Was it a modern carving made in California, repurposed tiki from the islands? The "upward face" really interests me. I know about these utilitarian tiki in Hawai'i but not so much from the south islands.
