Kinda different looking. Looks like an old tahitian tiki we have in the room. The cracks may in fact (in my humble opinion) kind of add some charm and aging to it...If you want to add age you can also char these slightly with a blowtorch. Pickle juice works, too (leaves no residual smell after a couple of days but oxidizes the wood really fast...that's an old trick we used to use in the antique business for aging secondary replacement woods in furniture!)....and that's a hot tiki MrkCat!
