Expertly crafted from premium natural wood, this 20-inch Tiki Totem highlights the distinctive artistry and cultural heritage of the Marquesas Islands. The intricate carving features the traditional folded arms and bent legs, symbols deeply rooted in Marquesan culture.

Characterized by its disproportionately large head and prominent eyes, hallmarks of Marquesas-style Tikis, this totem draws inspiration from the sacred sculptures found on Hiva Oa Island in French Polynesia. A captivating piece rich in detail, it brings a touch of Polynesian history and craftsmanship to any space.

  • Totem: A Tiki is a sculpture endowed with an important spiritual and symbolic force, originating from the Marquesas Islands and usually representing a modified man. The Tiki is a real emblem of French Polynesia and holds a significant position in the local culture.
