Cool metal Tiki! Put it OVER the light socket...with the bulb hidden between the top and the middle mask, to create glowing eyes and mouths.

Forgot to mention, nice tiki Irish! Sorry for hijacking your thread. I wanted to post my Christmas prizes and there was your post, so I kinda tossed mine up there.

Do things that you gave to yourself count? It is kind of hard to find really original and unique Tiki presents for a hardcore Tikiphile like me, so much I have or have seen. So every now and then I spend a little more for an extra special piece that I cannot expect anyone else to go for, like this amazing vintage Louis Behan painting that I had always coveted and was glad to find still available. Now it is hanging in a place of honor in my home:
This piece is just so much the epitome of a Tiki lounge back bar painting (or it could be a mural), where you would sit nursing your Navy Grog and gaze at the exotic picture-scape that unfolds. It contains all the characters of story book Polynesia: Tikis, angry Kahunas and stately warriors, demure virgins to be sacrificed (in the nude, of course), and fiery volcanoes. Its naive style cannot be copied, it is authentic Polynesian pop, from a different time and a different place. (...happy sigh!)
