*NOTE: This is an unlicensed copy of the Makalani design by Tiki Shark (Brad Parker) issued several years earlier for Tiki Farm. The detail is much cruder but unmistakable. As a wholesaler, BarConic buys inventory for low prices from overseas where the copyright laws are not enforced. This bowl is one of several designs BarConic has distributed and which originated with Tiki Farm but do not reimburse the original artists and manufacturer.
