(1960s) The decor made for the flagship location on Marriott's KONA KAI chain in Philadelphia is perhaps one of THE most elaborate Tiki temples of the Poly-Pop era. George Nakashima working with Armet & Davis commercial architecture firm left no stone unturned. Every tiki and incidental carving was drawn out on blueprints and executed by Cass Carving and Oceanic Arts. This carving is a stunner and is very rare in that this was the only location where these specific designs were used. VG+ with typical wear. 7.5"dia x 50".
