(1960s) A massive tiki by famed carver, Richard Ellis, partner to Andres Bumatay on many projects. Ellis was a particularly talented artist and there is no question this tiki attests to that. This figure was adopted by OA when Don the Beachcomber closed in Las Vegas at the Sahara. For many years, this tiki (and it's companion used in the film CASINO) were painted with a cartoony, brash paint scheme. LeRoy Schmaltz restored and reschemed the figure with the beautiful coloring you see here. One is unlikely to come across another figure of this beauty and appearance, encapsulating the Commercial Tiki Era. This figure is large and will require special shipping arrangements.98"x24"x20".VG+ with typical wear.
