  Here is the MOAI tiki God of surf from Easter Island! The tiki was hand carved and hand painted. Measurement: 14 inches Perfect indoor Tiki decoration or for your covered lanai! According to archeologists, the tiki god statues were a symbol of power, both religious and political to the Polynesian Islands. The large teeth and powerful presence is believed to ward off evil spirits. For centuries, tiki statues have been a form of communication across all cultures. They replicate human nature and depict a part of what we all are. In Polynesian culture it is believed that the tiki god was within the spirit of the statue. Whether statues have hypnotic powers that can protect us from the world of the spirits is intriguing... this is certainly a very dramatic piece.
