Tiki or not Tiki - Collecting Tiki

The only figures I thought he resembled were Polynesian. His facial features definitely look it, to me, but that thing on his head has me puzzled. When I went back Sunday & he was 30% off, I threw caution to the wind & grabbed him. So, he's going in my lounge, regardless, but I'd really appreciate any thoughts or info about him you guys could give me. He is completely unmarked & the bottom of the base is very rough-hewn, definitely no saws involved. Mahalo, Rick
