Tiki Kon 2023 Event Mug - Volcano Face Edition - by VanTiki

This Volcano Face Edition is one of three box-shaped mugs (square buckets) issued for the 2023 Tiki Kon in Portland, Oregon.

These three versions (A, B, and C on bottoms) hearken back to prior Tiki Kon mugs done by VanTiki.

This version features a tiki face with a dog-boned shaped mouth (B, which has the face of the 2018 Volcano mug). The other versions include one with a tiki face with half-circle eyes, a small narrow nose, and an elliptical/oval mouth (A, which hearkens back to the Happy Traveler Menehune mug issued in 2015 that was in turn based on an idol which is currently on display at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu), and one with a winking face with tongue sticking out (C, which has the face of the 2020 Eye of the Tiki).
