tiki mask
Tropical bar decoration
A tiki mask is a carved wooden mask depicting stylized human faces, originating in Polynesian cultures where they represented gods, ancestors, or protective spirits.
The distinctive features—exaggerated eyes, broad nose, grimacing mouth—have become iconic in mid-century American "tiki culture," appearing as décor in themed bars and restaurants: The patio was decorated with tiki masks and bamboo torches.
