Just a little tiki in France just got back from the city of lights and found these unexpected Tikis in a little used corner of the Louvre. They are appreantly part of an "early civilisation collection from Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas," from the musée du Quai Branly, on loan for a few years.

Most appropriate as Tahiti is referenced as Frech Polynesia (as always - patronizing to the indigenous polynesians), the Marquesas islanders sell tikis currently and tiki statutes remain in Tahiti. Tres Bon! |

I saw the Branly exhibit at the Louvre as well. Incroyable! The Branly's entire Oceanic collection is available for browsing at their website...all 1902 pages of it! |
