If so, it's a lot of rattan and it's a tiny bit of tiki. You should see it if you are close. These are item pictured from this book.

Aloha,

The book is from 1998 and I think it is the exhibit that toured when it was new. If so, it's a lot of rattan and it's a tiny bit of tiki. You should see it if you are close.

These are item pictured from this book.
