I saw them for sale by the pantlad (and not cheap either) at the giftshops on Kauai...

What is a "pantlad?"

I've seen one "dragon mask" in an antique mall for $160; it was about 32" tall and well carved...but $160?...I just can't do that and live with myself. I want something like that to put a red lightbulb behind though. Even if I got them to halve the price, I think $80 is too much for something with no origin, save for the tourist trade. Kind of bereft of a soul, ya know.
