(1950s) Legendary carver, Barney West was discovered by the Thornton brothers on their many trips out West to gather decor and personnel for the MAI-KAI in its first years of construction and operation. They became very friendly with Barney whom they flew out to Florida for on-site Tiki creation. Barney also sent smaller figures from his workshop studio in Sausalito, California. This terrific ancestor figure is pure Barney and he furnished many of these for placement in both the gardens and interior spaces at the MAI-KAI. Hardwood with earthy polychrome scheme. VG+ with typical wear from age and use. 7"x28"x6.5".
