I am planning a feature for the area outside Castaway Cove in honor of my lovely wife, and I need some help... Is anyone aware of any historical/primitive representations of Pele that I could use as the basis for a carving/sculpture? I've only seen contemporary paintings depicting her and have wondered if Polynesians ever created effigies of her. Also, I am going to create a fire/water effect similar to what they do at the Peppermill. Does anybody have any experience with this sort of thing, or am I just going to have to blow shit up until I get it right? Mahalo! Tikimaxton |

Wouldn't you know I can't find the picture I've seen a hundred times, and you probably have too...It's a 19th century carving, a very basic, faceless figure, standing with knees bent,palms on thighs, and a large "comb" curving up over the head from the back. |

OK here's a modernized (..ick) version of the carving I meant. Take off all the facial features and fingers and stuff and it's close. |
