Welcome to the Limited Edition Tiki Series!
This is Tiki #2. You will receive the tiki in the first photo shown here.

The word tiki actually indicates any figure, any image, especially when it has human-like traits, and for this reason, figures that have very specific traits, (be they tattooed, painted or carved) are normally called tiki.
The commonly recognized traits of the tiki are the big eyes and nostrils, open mouth and prominent ears. In particular, tiki eyes are often depicted closed, but nostrils are always shown. This stems from the belief that tiki could smell dangers before seeing them.
All tikis are endowed with spiritual and symbolic force, originating from the Marquesas Islands, the most famous being the monumental statues of Easter Island. The tiki holds significant position in local culture and can be found scattered across many different places in the islands. Each tiki has its own meaning. They represent power, knowledge, wisdom, prosperity and many other strong concepts.
