A South Pacific Inlaid Shell Tiki Head is a carved wooden sculpture depicting a stylized Polynesian tiki (a representation of an ancestral figure, deity, or guardian spirit) with eyes and sometimes other features inlaid with iridescent mother-of-pearl or pāua shell. These are most commonly associated with several cultures and regions in the South Pacific.
