That said, I'm impressed by that lamp. It's not obviously African--gives a broadly tropical vibe--and I could see it working in most tiki spaces without a second thought. Assuming that it is indeed hand-carved and in working order, that's probably a good deal. Of course, I have passed up quite a few good deals in my time simply because they didn't fit within my particular aesthetic. You have to decide if it works for you, because I seriously doubt anyone is ever going to call you out for having this lamp in your eventual tiki space.
