   Here is a beautiful Tiki Akua Kai measuring 12 inches tall (30 cm) and made out of solid monkey pod wood. The image is possibly one of the finest Kona-style images, presenting all of the dynamic qualities of the style and the abstraction of the headdress, hair and eyes, which in this instance are triangular, faceted elements set into the hair pattern.Original: Pitt-Rivers Museum * Tiki: akua Kai Kona style * Size: 12" * Wood: Monkeypod - stained * Manifestations of Mana are what Polynesian sculptors' desire most, and Mana is not easy to define.
