Hawaiian Tiki-Style Wooden Mask

This carved wooden mask draws from the bold visual language of Hawaiian and Polynesian Tiki art, with a fierce expression, exaggerated fangs, and pointed ears symbolizing protective or guardian spirits. Likely crafted as a mid-to-late 20th century decorative souvenir, the mask showcases traditional island carving techniques with tribal texture markings and expressive features. These types of masks are often used to honor ancient deities or to ward off negative energy. Whether displayed in a Tiki bar, island-themed collection, or cultural décor setting, it offers powerful island character and craftsmanship.
