Tiki Central / General Tiki / Is this a Witco piece?

Last weekend while perusing my local antique store I found this mask. $20 later I had it at home and thought that it looked strangely familiar. Then I cracked open my Book of Tiki and found a picture on page 8 of a Witco showroom featuring a Tiki bar complete with mask on front. I think I have a duplicate of that mask. Since no two carved pieces are exactly the same, I would expect some variance but the commonality is amazing. The wierd thing is that I cannot locate any identifying marks anywhere on it.

Any thoughts?

Here is the comparison.
