carved warrior with tiki shield?

Pages: 1 4 replies

Picked this carving up yesterday it stands 21 in tall with a removable tiki shield that exposes a rather large member, some repair to the shield and a few natural cracks to the two piece base, does anyone have any info on it?

This was sold in Hawaiian souvenir shops as decor for the rumpus room. There is a photo of an older version with a mechanical member in a book called "Tiki Modern".

umm.... shouldn't this be in the tiki Exotica thread??? :wink:
"To Shield or not to shield", this is the question...

From 1969...Hardwoods Hawaii...pun intended

THANKS GUYS FOR THE INFO!!! LOOKS LIKE IT'S HIS BROTHER IN THE PHOTO, THE SWORDS THE SAME CARVING , BUT [HARDWOODs] GOT TO WEAR THE BIG HAT!!!! MAYBE IT BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING UNDER HIS SHIELD!!! I THINK I WILL LEAVE HIM OUT IN THE GARAGE!!!!
