The room decor, stunning it its own right.
Several regrettable painted Tikis.

The abstract design on the floor really saves the day! 
Amazing how within one generation, the knowledge and know how was lost. Those are Orchids Tikis, of course.

It looks like Polynesian night at a community center or retirement home.

This circus clown painted big tiki was for sale for quite a long time at Warehouse 1333 in Long Beach. It still could be, I haven't be in there in over a year.
This tiki only had his eyes painted white so he got off pretty easy. He's still for sale at the Long Beach Antique Mall II.

He looks like he could have been a Mike Gildea job:

Actually, the second one may well be the original PNG paint.
