PopTiki P-14 Deluxe Hei-Tiki Mug
From PopTiki's Web Site: Being big fans of the art of the Maori, we have wanted to do something inspired by their culture and aesthetic for some time, but we never quite came up with something that was different enough to be interesting, while still respecting the designs of the original works. But, after looking at the many amazing examples of the jade work of the Hei-Tiki, we came up with something we had not seen before. A Hei-Tiki Mug, with the bent head.
TThe Deluxe version of this mug follows the inspiration and tradition of some of the Maori works by including a red tongue and eyes set with polished abalone shell we got from New Zealand. The body is the same darker translucent green, and the inside is the contrasting clear used on the Standard version.
Height: 8"; Diameter: 3.75" Side-to-Side, 4" Front-to-Back; Volume: 16 oz.; Production Began: 2009.

This is a Maori Hei-Tiki Mug with a bent head, modeled after traditional jade (greenstone) carvings. It was produced in a standard and a deluxe version. The deluxe version of this mug follows the inspiration and tradition of some of the Maori works by including a red tongue and eyes set with polished abalone shell from New Zeeland. The body is the same darker translucent green as the standard edition, and the inside is clear coated as with the standard edition.
