What a great tiki! Does he have any history behind him? He seems to be quite the weathered fellow! :)

Dealer said he was bought from someone in Florida and he had it a while didn't know a lot about it. I found it in Maine & bought it pretty cheap. Was so excited to see something like it in Maine that I hardly asked any questions. But he can only stand on his head so I would like to see how he originally looked so I can have a friend build something for him.

Beth,

If I had to guess, I think it was a lamp and probably was attached to a square wood base. What does the bottom look like? Two of the three lamps I have are attached to square blocks of wood.

Never seen that particular one, nice find!

Anybody seen these before?

Yes! We got 'em, but have no idea who or where they're from. My guess is carved in the Phillipines?

Nice find on the lamp! These I picked up today and three more next Sunday...


I call this my "Cowl" cuz it looks like someone started to carve and owl and ended up with a cat?



Different "Cat".


A Witco "Sword", about 4' long!

Picked this guy up Friday. Just about 3 feet tall.
Is it Witco?

bigbrotiki posted on 09/07/2009

Yah, Vitco I vould say. The face on the back is most unusual, these usually were just one-sided Moai carvings.

Kool! Vorth the $160.00 I paid for him, yah?

bigbrotiki posted on 09/07/2009

You know if I could SEE the damn thing I would have a better idea, but photographing a vertical object horizontally, as well as a dark object against white walls, is somewhat detrimental to detail reception. :)
