Two Old Tiki Carvings, Any History? - General Tiki

The first came out of a Polynesian Retaurant in San Pedro (the name escapes me). I bought it from a gentleman who's wife was a Polynesian dancer at the place and took it home when they closed. I suspect it may be a Milan Guanko, but I'm not sure. It's nearly 7 feet tall. The second one I bought at an estate sale in Anaheim. It's about 4 feet tall. It's real fiberous, and I was told from a pretty reliable source that it carved from some sort of fern, though that could be debated. Any help would be appreciated. Tiki 1 Tiki 2
