Trader Vic's SCARVES ?! - Collecting Tiki

It's white silk/rayon blend with a mandala of pink tikis in a sort of M. C. Escher pattern, an angry, Africanized mask in the center and another smaller one in one corner. To make things more curious, there's a number "5" in the corner and the initials of the artist--"H de W". Has anyone else seen scarves from TV's? And who, pray tell, was "H de W"? (Hugo de Winter? Harry de Wildt? OK, I'm joking about those two.) Cheers in advance -- Robert
