Tiki Men 9/115

This group of Tiki Men seemed rather happy compared to many carvings we saw in Hawaii.

 

According to Wikipedia, this is the definition of Tiki Men;

"In Māori mythology, Tiki is the first man, created by either Tūmatauenga or Tāne. He found the first woman, Marikoriko, in a pond; she seduced him and he became the father of Hine-kau-ataata. By extension, a tiki is a large wooden carving in humanoid form"
