Hand-cast using real crushed stone bonded with durable designer resin, this Tiki Statue is topped with sun-resistant, full-color paint. The Tiki is part of a belief that is based on a typically Polynesian Spiritual Concept. Originating from the Marquesas Islands, this spirituality is spread throughout Oceania through the personification in the forms of statues in lava rock, wood and even human bones. These representations are present in different forms, considered heritage of oceanic art, such as jewels and tattoos with still mystical meanings. Some of these representations are faces with large round eyes engraved and painted on stones, some even representative of the Maori Gods. The term Tiki can be translated simply as “effigy” and refers precisely to the “image of something“, often the embodiment of large carvings and stone artifacts of volcanic origin, which portray typical humanoid forms. According to Polynesian legends, there is a spirit in every Tiki. The carvings often serve to mark the boundaries of sacred or significant places.

Tikis were also phallus figurines that women hung around their necks as a ward against infertility. Over the centuries this ancient culture has been dispersed and influenced by the colonization of the first explorers and the attempt to convert the native inhabitants by missionaries from the new world, enveloping ancient traditions and spiritual representations in mysticism. We owe much of the knowledge of these cultures to the interest of the first great explorers who, driven by their vocation for exploration and knowledge, meticulously described these primitive cultures, but also to the inspiration of numerous artists and writers of the old world, who, one above all Gauguin, fascinated by the heavenly and oceanic environments, by human life in symbiosis with the naturalness of the oceanic islands, they reproduced and described the “Tiki Culture” in their works. But the spirituality of the Tiki re-emerges after about 2500 years in American Culture, with the birth of the exotic mixing of Don the Beachcomber. In particular, the use of Tiki Mugs after the 1950s was intended to entertain and amaze the clientele of exotic locales through the re-enactment of ancient Polynesian mysticism. All this has contributed to reactivating a great attention and research also for the ancient populations of the Tiki.

Africana) and the smaller African Forest Elephant (L. Cyclotis).

Loxodonta is 1 of 2 extant genera of the family Elephantidae. The name refers to the lozenge-shaped enamel of their molar teeth. Fossil remains of Loxodonta species have been excavated in Africa, dating to the Middle Pliocene. Many Totemic Tribes believe that after death, everyone turns into an animal of his totem, and therefore, every animal, a deceased relative. When they saw the murder of his totem, saying: “Why have killed this man? It’s my father, my brother?” in places where there is division in sex totems, representatives of women find their totem her sisters, men, brothers. Totemism, is another ancient form of traditional African religions. Totem, a type of animal or plant which is symbolic saint patron, and at a later stage, the ancestor of a group of blood relatives. Totems represented the relationship between man and wildlife. The concept of using totems demonstrated the close relationship between humans, animals and the lived environment.

Anthropologists believe that Totem use was a universal phenomenon among early societies. Pre-industrial communities had some form of totem that was associated with spirits, religion and success of community members. Early documented forms of Totems in Europe can be traced to the Roman Empire, where symbols were used as coats of arms, a practice which continues today. In Africa, chiefs decorated their stools and other court items with their personal totems, or with those of the tribe or of the clans making up the larger community. It was a duty of each community member to protect and defend the totem. This obligation ranged from not harming that animal or plant, to actively feeding, rescuing or caring for it as needed. African tales are told of how men became heroes for rescuing their totems. This has continued in some African societies, where totems are treasured and preserved for the community’s good. Totems have also been described as a traditional environmental conservation method besides being for kinship. Totemism can lead to environmental protection due to some tribes having multiple totems.

For example, over 100 plant and animal species are considered totems among the Batooro, Banyoro and Baganda tribes in Uganda, a similar number of species are considered totems among tribes in Congo and the Central African Republic. In Zimbabwe, totems have been in use among the Shona groupings since the initial development of their culture. Totems identify the different clans among the Shona that historically made up the dynasties of their ancient civilization. Today, up to 25 different totems can be identified among the Shona ethnic grouping, and similar totems exist among other South African groups, such as the Zulu, the Ndebele, and the Herero in Botswana and Namibia. Those who share the same totem regard each other as being related even though they are not blood relatives and will find difficulty in finding approval to marry. Through Totem use one can practically establish some form of kinship with anyone else in the region. Establishing relationships this way made it easier for a traveller or stranger to find social support. Totems are also essential to cast a curse.
