"Ancient Papua New Guinea legends tell of an elusive creature found along the muddy banks or in the murky depths of the Sepik River. Some believe Palembei to have once been a bird, others say it was a mortal spurned by a lover and thus wishing to drown its sorrows. Dive deep within the drink, discovering the true meaning of liquidious happiness" -TIKI KAIMUKI

Palembei was designed and produced by Falin Minoru (aka Tiki Kaimuki). It was influenced by the art of the Sepik River region of Papua New Guinea. The tiki has round protruding eyes set in deep sockets, a large open mouth and a long nose that extends from his forehead down past his mouth. The glaze colors vary throughout the limited run.
