The Ku looks like the often copied Coco Joe's/Brady Bunch tourist piece. All this is part of the Polynesian pop "Chain of Transmission". :) actually, the tiki is identical to the cocojoes tiki bookends tiki, minus the sculpted grass wall background with bamboo frame which makes up the rest of the bookend....they probably took a photo of the bookend then traced the tiki and base in pencil..adding the detail in for the final printing.
