Tangata was designed by Marcus Pizutti for Tiki Farm. He is a moai bust with his hands on his belly, no eyes, protruding cheeks and a nose that flares sharply. This version has a green/brown mottled glaze.
This was one of three open edition Tiki Farm mugs (Ku-Konga, Vicious, Tangata) Don's used with fire decals as a stop-gap measure after they were converted from Sam's Seafood/Kona's and before their exclusive mugs arrived. According to Art Snyder only a couple hundred of each were produced.
