Anyone know who made these? All cut pieces of wood glued in place.
They seem to be very old and many pieces are missing or broken off.
One is a bone in the nose figure and
the second one looks like a lion to me.
We just had to rescue these from a thrift shop in Fairfield, California.

Native with a bone in the nose and a lion. GROG think it African-inspired rather than Polynesian-inspired art. Goes in the Jungle Room.

Good eye Ernie. I hadn’t noticed the bone the first half dozen times I looked at that piece.

More junk:
Coco joe variation I didnt have yet and a mini Maori tiki
Now I have the baby, mama, and papa bear version of this
Maori face I think is chalkware. I usually avoid buying broken or repaired stuff, but it was cheap, and too cool to leave. Dang that chin though!
More reference:
New bamboo frame that came with a push pin bulletin board, pins and cards.
Giant framed fake steamship line print. measures close to 3' x 4'
Second one have in this series. They take up a lot of wall room
Buzzy Out!

bigbrotiki too much fun to pass up. I'm going to fix them up.
GROG I agree with you. Dan collects by what he likes to look at and these fit his desires.
nui 'umi 'umi I think the bone was the best part.
I guess they are homemade by someone with a great skip saw. The number of stacked pieces shows that many days and hours were put into these. We are glad to have them.
Buzzy, to fix that chin use Elmer's wood putty, many thin coats. When dry sand and crave it. Then it's ready to paint.
Thank you all for your comments, Wendy

I just got this Trader Dick's mug to add to my now-growing collection. My first tiki mug actually featuring a tiki or from a "historic" tiki establishment.

Not any kind of exciting vintage find, but I picked up Frankenstein and Cthulhu here from HMV the other day. They're selling these "Halloween tumblers" (as well as a vampire and an evil clown) as a promotion.

Buzzy the Vanuatu mask is outstanding. Can you tell if the Tommy Bahama mugs are identical or different. I've always wanted to know if they were hand painted or some kind of a decal. They are the best looking mugs that I've ever seen produced in a mass quantity.
Jon, I love this tiki so much I printed a photo of it to inspire my work in the future. Great score.
Wendy
