What is it? Indian artifact, Crappy indonesian carving from World Imports, Evil Tiki
I found this on the beach next to my house last year in a pile of driftwood, I figured it came down the cliff as it eroded and was caught behind the wood and never made it to the water.
What do you think it is or where it came from? board woodcarver sitting on the bluff, Tsunami debris, Indian wood carving, Greg Brady's evil tiki?

well to be safe, don't stick it up your butt until you give it a really good cleansing!

Read an interesting article online about the tsunami debris washing up on the west coast, that's my vote.

I sent the pix to my BiL who is an expert on Pacific Island Culture. Hope to get you an answer.

Thanks, It's been sitting in my living room for about a year and have been curious about where it came from. I have found tsunami debris in same area but it's pretty clean and fairly undamaged so I don't think it spent much time (if any) in the water or being washed up on the rocks/beach.
this is the area I found it, It's a nice place to sit with great views with Vancouver to the north, Mount Baker to the east, Rainier to the south (on clear days), and the Olympics to the SW. I wouldn't doubt that it was made and dropped there.

Here is his response:
No clue where that may be from. Your friend could contact the Burke Museum and someone maybe able to help.

I bet it's a pseudo-tribal carving bought at some hippy's flea market stand, but you never know. The beard is suspect.

The beard! The first concrete proof that the Norse made it around Cape Horn and into the North Pacific! A priceless artifact proving never-before suspected cultural connections from 800 years before Magellan!
Or maybe a lost prop from the Gilligan set, one or the other.

I thought it had a Norse look to it. It looks a lot like a friend who was very Norwegian looking, He passed away a couple weeks after I found it.
I don't think it's that old, It would have rotted away long ago if it was made by the Indians who spent the summers here, I think someone carved it then forgot where he left it.

There is a reddit sub for this type of thing... exposure to the masses of people who have nothing to do all day but sit and research on their computer is a good way to get other people to do your investigation for you. I'd try that.

It is an evil tiki. Made by the ancient Lopezian tribe as a ward against cell phone towers.
Living vicariously through myself.

All I know about it, is that the last ten people to touch it are now dead.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot
