Bigbro's African Safari - Tiki Travel

You mean something else other than art and architecture? I have no eye for such frivolities! Instead, here is a nice side view of my mask :) : On second thought, it seems like that the mask carver could have picked a piece of wood that already had termite holes in it to give the piece a vintage quality. Experienced Tiki carvers pick used wood, or drift wood as material to carve, sometimes. Eli Hedley built a business on that look. But it seems that a part came off and had to be re-attached. I am ashamed at my ignorance over such matters, something I have to remedy! Now isn't that much more interesting than mere foreign feminine charms!
