Tiki masks are a great way to add a tropical feel to your home; originated from Hawaii the designs actually have changed over the years through different cultures. For instance a Tongan or Samoan carver will have a different interpretation than a carver from Hawaii; hence the final Tiki carving will be slightly different.
Fijian masks are usually carved out of iron wood also known as Vesi wood. The wood is kept under ground for a few month to give it a natural black color, that’s how the carvings will come out after completion. The earthy red color masks have a red dirt stain added to them.
Fijian Tiki masks are very easily identifiable because often they will feature hand carved turtles, geckos, or ceremonial dancing knife also known as Nifo Oti.
