This is a soap dish being held by a toothed, grimacing Tiki with a strongly flared headdress. It is an unfinished prototype Tiki Farm intended to launch in 2000. It is made of handcast hydrostone, sculpted and molded by Squid and then hand poured in house at Tiki Farm by Squid and Holden. This piece was cast in hydrostone as hydrostone serves as a good base material for the decorating of figurines. In the case of this soap dish, stain was planned. Later, it was decided that nobody would buy a hand-stained soap dish and so it never made it to market. It weighs over 2 lbs. This item is unmarked (there is no Tiki Farm marking anywhere on the piece). Also, it is a solid cast piece - the entire lower section and Tiki God are both completely solid and filled. There is a matching toothbrush holder and towel holders set prototype as well.
