Bombardier Ellistay #10
aka. B.E.
The last picture shows the original found at the apartments and my carving which was used as the master. The proportions were changed in order to make it more practical as a mug.
Distinguishing Characteristics
All my new designs will now be marked as "SWZ" on the bottom. I will no longer be using "rat".

Bombardier Ellistay
aka B.E. in 6 collections
This is a mug shaped like a standing Tiki. First in a series. Based on a carving found at the Kona Pali apartments in Granada Hills, California. Ellistay is a portmanteau of the surnames of Andres Bumatay and Richard Ellis, as it has not been confirmed which artist did the actual carving. Measures: 8 3/4" tall x 2 5/16" wide x 3" deep. The original apartments can be viewed at http://www.tikiroom.com/tikicentral/bb/viewtopic.php?topic=28344&forum=2&hilite=kona%20pali
