What is a Tiki?

A Tiki is a physical representation of a Polynesian god usually carved in wood or stone.
The four major Hawaiian Tiki Gods are Ku the God of War, Lono the God of Fertility and Peace, Kane the God of Light and Life, and Kanaloa the God of the Sea.

Tiki statues carved by high-ranking tribesmen were considered sacred and powerful, and these were used in special religious ceremonies.
Tiki statues carved by anyone other than a high-ranking tribesman were used simply as decoration.

Tiki carvings are one of the oldest art forms known to man, and all original Tiki carvings are unique.
Statues carved with threatening expressions are often used to scare away evil spirits, and others with more amicable expressions are created for use in religious ceremonies, healing services, or to bring good luck.

First discovered in Polynesia, they’re an integral part of South Pacific mythology, culture, and history.
The Polynesian islands are spread out over a whole lot of oceans, and there are many different Polynesian cultures, each with its own figures and mythology.
In the mid-20th century, Polynesia was a mysterious, exotic place.
