I'm still learning. Some years ago I purchased some carvings from Oceanic arts, there's two tiki poles incorporating the Marquesan guy on the lower left and also one single version of the same. I never knew exactly what they were, but now that I'm researching I find that they are pretty accurate reproductions - they look just like the one in the picture. Bob at Oceanic told me they were salvaged from some old tiki bar ages ago.
