Tiki Mug Design
Tumuaki - Green - by Benzart for Tiki Farm
in 9 collections
This mug is shaped like a man's head with Maori moko tattooing design. Issued in a green or a brown glaze.
Tiki Farm describes this mug:
"I know Tiki pretty darned well. The 'Papa', the 'Godfather' the most revered carver in Tiki is Ben 'Benzart' Davis. My 75-year old, long-time friend means the world to me. I speak with Ben often, but not often enough. Tiki Farm is launching the new 'Tumuaki', a traditional Maori design created by Maori-trained sculptor Benzart and turned into a Tiki mug by Tiki Farm. The significance of this piece in any true Tiki collection is important in my opinion. I am grateful to have this relationship with Ben and I am very proud of Tumuaki! It is 100% Tiki. It is not a lowbrow design, it is not a skull, a monkey, a zombie or a shrunken head. I love all of those aesthetics, but at our roots at Tiki Farm are some very traditional Tiki-inspired designs. Such is the case with Tumuaki.
Glazed in a beautiful dual-tone green with hints of yellow and amber, Tumuaki is impressive!"
