The process to create this piece was I started to a slab of clay and rolled it up with a tube. Then I drew out where and how the facial part of the Tiki would look like. After that, I started to add the details to the Tiki like the nose, eyes, and mouth. I added coil around the eyes and mouth to make it the way people used to do it back then. Last I added skulls and a spear to make it look like Ku, the god of war.
Title: The Wolf and The Moon
