Hawaii atmosphere at home with this authentic wooden tiki mask entirely handmade! The colourful pattern evokes the headdress of the Maori tribal chief.
Legends tell that the Tiki would be the creator of man and that Polynesian sorcerers attributed powers to him. The head of the tiki symbolizes the power it houses. His eyes express knowledge and supernatural power. As for her stretched mouth, sometimes she pulls out her tongue or shows her teeth, in order to mark the challenge and provoke the opponent.
The Polynesians worshipped and feared him. The tiki represents their ancient gods and distant mythical ancestors. He is a half-man, half-god being. It confers power, strength and protection against dangers, and has the value of a talisman: a tiki placed outside a house protects its inhabitants.
If you wish, you can use this mask in outdoor decoration. But it will first have to be protected with a lacquer (satin and colorless to maintain the same appearance). This technique will be effective for all our wooden items.
Belles couleurs, magnifique
