I really like crosscultural art forms, yet somehow I want to keep Asian and Polynesian apart. That's just me though. I guess years from now someone will look back and report "In the 2000s, the Tiki revival brought on a new demand for carved godheads, and importers of Asian handicrafts came up with the idea to have Tikis carved by inexpensive, crafty Asian artisans and shipped to the United States..." Yours is a an 80s or 90s tourist Tiki, though.I got one too.
