MIKE B IS THE DISCIPLE OF CHARLIE WILSON (RAPONI) who is one of the oldest & top tiki carver in my opinion (whose work appears on New Zealand post stamps and one ounce solid gold coin) hence the similar style
Hei Tiki
Commonly known as a good luck charm the tiki is also considered a symbol of
fertility. Assumed to be clear thinking, perceptive, loyal and knowledgeable,
the wearers strength is their character. The Tiki is a talisman to the Maori
people, and has been regarded as a good luck charm from the ancient times. The
Maori believe the Tiki represents the unborn human embryo. The most valuable
tiki's were carved from greenstone and were handed down through the generations
as treasured possessions
