This is a bowl shaped like three female menehunes playing drums around a central coconut bowl. Each has a flower in her hair and is wearing a flower lei.

The bowl version was not issued for Tiki Caliente 12, but was created by Eekum Bookum afterwards, and sold at least as early as at the 2022 Tiki Caliente marketplace at the Eekum Bookum booth.

Trained Octopus #1 - by VanTiki
in 0 collections
From VanTiki:
"Visitors to VanTiki Island often hear the stories of a mysterious secluded bay and the curious octopodes that live there. Legend has it that local fishermen have trained the octopi to retrieve long-lost relics from the deep in exchange for fresh shellfish. Now, as magical as the idea of an octopus climbing out of the waves with an ancient tiki mug perched on its head may be, visitors must keep in mind that these are only stories - no photographic proof exists. Oh... wait, this just in:
The Trained Octopus #1 tiki mug is a whopping 9 inches tall and holds a bit more fluid than you’d think (the “head” of the octopus actually holds fluid as well). It is entirely hand crafted by Henrik Van Ryzin out of glazed high-fire ceramics with food-safe glazes. No molds were used in the construction of this mug."
