Found these at a thrift shop, are in mint condition. they are 6.5" tall. Label reads: hand carved Meadswood New Zealand. Anymore info would be helpful.

Thanks and happy tiki hunting!

These belong to the genre of tourist art, also called airport art, and, I regret to inform you, are not exactly the finest example of Maori craftsmanship.

Meadswood was a company around in the 1960s/1970s and they made touristy tiki carving stuff. If you type in "Meadswood" and "Maori" in Google Images you will see some of their other designs.
