Good catch! I concur. Though the face is extremely stylized away from the original, the ear circles on that mug probably come from the original's spirals in the same place, And though the position of the hands is a common Tiki feature, their size and the ridges on the fingers are reminiscent of this Maori Tiki. I have a mug in that style from Tiki Bob's, but it was used by many more places (see Tiki Quest)
