Aloha! Marcus Lindemann from Florida here. I am currently working as a Huna Therapist and have been carving very simple Hawaiian style tiki (ki'i 'aumakua) and even using them in therapy. I never trained in carving, so my work has very little surface finish. Enjoy! Carved from a Big Island beach stone, this little Ki'i was a gift to a shaman living in the Midwestern US. This Ki'i was an attempt at purposefully making an image that looked ancient. This Ki'i is used as a healing stone for my clients these days, which is why all its surface contours have been extremely stylized and smoothed. It now has a female counterpart when working with people who require two energy polarities (Ku and Hina).
Aloha!
