Although in most of Polynesia "tiki" refers to any carved human form, the term "tiki" in New Zealand specifically means a human figure carved in greenstone (or other material) to be worn as a neck ornament.
Therefore, although this elaborate design on a temple facade represents a human figure, it is considered just a "wood carving" and not a Maori "tiki". At first glance, one might think it is the same design as http://www.pbase.com/britestar/image/113494705; however, the carver was a different individual; as was the ancestor this figure represents.
