Grail #8 Lord of the Bobs

Lot Title: “Tiki Bob of the Rings” — Limited Edition by Coxswain Dunsel (2022)

Offered here is a rare and imaginative interpretation of the classic Tiki Bob form by Houston-based artist Coxswain Dunsel. Produced in 2022 as a limited edition, each piece is hand-numbered and crafted with a distinctive Lord of the Rings theme — merging Polynesian Pop with fantasy lore in a uniquely playful homage.

This mug exhibits strong traditional tiki lines while incorporating subtle references to Tolkien’s world, resulting in a piece that is both familiar and surprising. As with much of Dunsel’s work, production numbers were kept intentionally low, and few have surfaced on the secondary market since their release.
