This unique piece of art showcases the distinctive style of Witco, a renowned manufacturer of the mid-century period.

The characteristic Tiki facial features have been expertly carved into the wood, providing an eye-catching focal point.

While this sculpture bears the signs of its age and past love with a repaired break on the neck and a missing part of the eye, these minor imperfections do not detract from its overall charm.
