Teko Teko - by Big Toe - for TikiLand Trading Company
in 2 collections
This tiki is a Maori tekoteko (gable ornament), which often adorn the roof peaks of major buildings in Maori villages, especially storehouses (patakas), belonging to the village chiefs and used to safeguard food, tools, weapons, and other items. Each gable ornament depicts a founding ancestor, the progenitor of the group (iwi) of which the community forms a part. The ancestor grasps a kotiate (a type of hand club) firmly in his right hand. The kotiate was used in hand-to-hand combat, and its presence suggests that this ancestor was an accomplished warrior.
From TikiLand Trading Company:
"We had the pleasure of working with BigToe (Tom Laura) in a collaboration on the piece of art that inspired this mug. Limited solely by BigToe's imagination, we asked him to create his own representation of a traditional tiki while remaining true to his signature and unique style.
Mug size and volume: This mug is approximately 9.75 inches tall and holds about 17 oz (this will vary from mug to mug depending on wall thickness when it was made)."
Sculpted by THOR.
Glazed in a "redwood brown" with some turquoise blue/cyan in eyes.

in 3 collections
From TikiLand Trading Company:
"For you adventurelanders afraid of piranha nibbles or the spray from ol Bertha, or just want a bumpier ride- We are pleased to introduce the Jungle Cruiser. It may drive like a boat, because it’s entirely plausible it was a boat originally.
This patched together jungle rig is built for cargo on the go, and all of your artifacts you may cruise by during your adventure on land. This jungle jalopy comes fully loaded from head to tail with relics and souvenirs from the last jungle expedition. It drives so smoothly, you’ll feel every bump in the path, you’ll think you’re skippering a boat that’s crashed into the dock!
When you skipper this jungle jalopy, you’ll be enrolled as an elite club member in T.E.A. - you know, Truckers for Exploring and Adventuring.
With the Jungle Cruiser you’ll never have a more lively adventure, it runs on hopes and dreams, and it hardly runs at all. It’s been fixed so many times by Jungle Jim, it has more patches than actual car parts left. You can unload most of its cargo, but leave the 3rd idol from the left, as that’s now structural and holds the jungle cruiser together!
'You think you hate it now, but wait till you drive it'
-Former Jungle Cruiser Skipper
This mug holds about 18oz (varies slightly mug to mug), and is about 7.75 inches long, and 5.6 inches tall."
