Fijian culture: Carving was practiced by the men; carving would be used for items of practical use and simple shapes and design were used. A lot of effort was put into well adorned weapons and items for the home and ceremony, today carving is practiced for its use in tourism and no longer plays a major role in Fijian society and life except in the case of the Tanoa used from drinking Kava. * Fijian tiki mask * Size: 20" X 7" * Material: wood * Hand carved and hand painted * Polynesian decor * Great conversation piece
