I disagree. I think most purists would say that imagery from PNG 'is' Tiki even though it is actually part of Melanesia. Whilst technically the word Tiki and the images of Tikis themselves are of Polynesian origin, the imagery found throughout both Melanesia and Micronesia have always been included in the subculture of Tiki, or Polynesian Pop. Trader Vic's shield logo and what is possibly Oceanic Arts most popular and famous carving are both based on PNG carvings. |
