This Papua New Guinea Sepik River Bird was originally carved by Jim Casey and stood outside of Aloha Jhoe's in Palm Springs, California.

Photos of it and more history are contained in Sven Kirsten's book, Palm Springs Tiki (pages 154-155).

To coincide with the release of the book, Sven had John Mulder create this beautiful mug, which was released Sunday, February 16th, at The Reef in Palm Springs.
