Tiki idol
Tiki - Wikipedia
In Māori mythology, Tiki is the first man created by either Tūmatauenga or Tāne. He found the first woman, Marikoriko, in a pond; she seduced him and he became the father of Hine-kau-ataata. By extension, a tiki is a large or small wooden or stone carving in humanoid form, although this is a somewhat archaic usage in the Māori language. Carvings similar to tikis and coming to represent deified ancestors are found in most Polynesian cultures. They often serve to mark the boundaries of sacred or significant sites.
[Edit:If you vacation in Hawaii be careful of the type of Tiki souvenir you purchase.
There is one idol made of lava which is allegedly bad luck to remove from the Hawaiian islands and the only way to be rid of the curse is to mail the piece back to Hawaii]
