I think that piece was in the defunct Kalihai tiki Bar in Provo. It closed in 1960, but you can clearly see it sitting out in front of the restaurant in this postcard picture that DC posted in another thread:

Here's an article that MoEye found in the SLC paper achives from 1958 that shows the carver of this tiki, Fred Willifredo, in his studio:

You can see a tiki just like it behind his right shoulder, next to the mug collection.

Tikis like that usually go better if you sell them by the pound, so you should weigh it to get the most money out of it.

It's PNG based.
