Tiki Masks are carved wooden masks that represent deities or gods from the Central Eastern Polynesian Culture. They are used as home decor and they also serve various purposes such as warding off evil spirits and increasing the fertility of humans. They hold such high significance in the Polynesian culture that they, along with other Tiki sculptures have become defining symbols of said culture.
Many of the Tiki Masks are designed based on the four main gods. Kane is the god of sunlight, and natural life; Ku is the god of war; Lono is the god of peace, winds, rain, sports and fertility; Kanaloa is the god of the ocean. This is why each Tiki Mask holds a different meaning.
Tiki Masks are the perfect conversation pieces at gatherings to add to any modern home. They are exquisite pieces that have intricate details, making them real works of art. They can also be used to add to the authentic feel of Luaus and other feasts. Tiki Masks are also used as decorative pieces in Hawaiian restaurants and Tiki Bars. Tiki Masks can be used both indoors and outdoors and they can mix beautifully even with modern art pieces.
Tiki Masks come in various sizes between 18 to 36 inches. The complexity and sophistication of the designs do not depend on the size of the Tiki Masks. There are relatively smaller masks that contain magnificent details while there are big masks that feature simple designs. Although Tiki sculptures are not really evaluated and regarded on the same level as paintings and other forms of sculpture, they do have great value especially since they are steeped with meanings. This is why there are so many people who collect Tiki statues and masks.
There is also no questioning the amount of effort put into creating wonderful Tiki statues and Tiki Masks. Authentic Tiki Masks have well thought designs and are carved by expert Tiki artists who are able to combine meaning, function and aesthetic value into every piece, but still giving each a uniqueness. Each element in the sculpture adds meaning and value to the piece of art.
Authentic Tiki Masks are carved from hardwoods by expert craftsmen and then finished off with oil, wax or polish. There are also some Tiki Masks that feature color, but the most common design is the traditional stained hard wood sculpture. Because of the materials used and process that the Tiki Masks undergo during the creation, they can last a lifetime especially when used indoors.
If you are planning on organizing a Luau or creating a permanent Tiki lounge in your home then it is easy to order authentic Tiki sculptures online to match the theme and the atmosphere you are creating for the party or the lounge. There are so many Tiki Masks to choose from.
