Meet Wananga by @munktiki ! This is a two piece creation. The bowl features Māori inspired carvings and the Tekoteko (carved human) goes on the inside. It’s designed to have the bowl filled with ice and the Tekoteko holds your beverage nestled in said ice. Stoked to add it to the Munktiki collection! #tekoteko #wananga #tiki #maori #tikimug #tikibowl #tikihaorder #thetikihoarder #tikimuglife #tikimugcollection #munktiki

Meet Singa! From @munktiki circa 2008! Here is some info I pulled from mytiki.life “This is Paul Nielsen of Munktiki’s interpretation of Singa. Singa is a mythical creature of the Indonesian Batak people who live in the mountains in Sumatra. Although the name means “lion”, it resembles no living creature. Its representation, generally confined to the head, is the synthesis of several superior forms of creation and its appearance varies between the buffalo and a distorted human figures. The edition is limited to 100 pieces of varying colors.” #singa #indonesian #lion #tiki #tikimug #tikimuglife #thetikihoarder #tikihoarder #munktiki #tikimugcollection #mythicalcreature

PNG drum mug if the day! I’m lucky to have this 1/1 by @junglemodernceramics in the collection. His sculpting is fantastic and if you don’t have any of his mugs in your collection you are missing out. They truly feel like lost artifacts. Do yourself a favor and give him a follow and watch for his mug drops. #tiki #tikimug #png #drum #pngdrum #drummug #tikidrummug #junglemodernceramics #tikihoarder #thetikihoarder #mask #maskmug #tikimuglife

Have y’all met the God of Fortune? This is a Tiki mug styled after the Witco “God of Fortune Fountain.” It has a pronounced wood grain, large round eyes with concentric circles, a protruding tongue, and a belly-button. Circa 2013 I believe. This version with the colored tongue was a limited edition and it is very hard to find! Made by @bai_tiki Stoked to have it! #witco #tiki #tikis #godoffortune #tikimug #tikihoarder #thetikihoarder #tikimuglife #tikimugcollection #tikicollection #baitiki
