A beautifully conceived stylistic piece which comes in two colourways. A new and exiting take on a traditional classic and the medium employed is resin. The artist is interested in reviving Maori art forms and as well as working in this medium, he is also a talented carver and sculptor.
This stylised tiki is also available in turquoise.
