Looks appropriate, however these lean towards Mextiki and not Mexotica? Picked these up a few months back. The are from Sitmar Cruises 1975 and the artist is I. Pelli. Later, PTD

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Sun, May 26, 2013 2:23 PM Well, there are those that theorize that the "Cannibals" are actually "Birthers": The big belly one being pregnant, than the two others giving birth seated. Like it is done in many indigenous societies. According to historians, the Tahitians practiced infanticide - but not cannibalism. The Marquesans did, though. These Tikis are Marquesan in design. I am sure of that.
