It does have a Daga look to it. The biggest mystery is what it was? The top is carved out like a bowl. Was it an ashtray? a stand for some larger object? a drum missing its skin? I am trying to get the original auction receipts from them to see if they shed any light on things.

It's an ashtray. There are dozens of carvings like that at the Mai Kai. Drums, tikis, etc, that they put sand or gravel in as ashtrays.
