Good day all, I'm Steve.
I work in a bar in St. Augustine Florida. The center piece of the bar is this pictured wood carving.

It appears to be of one solid piece of wood about 2.5 - 3 feet tall or so.

It was alleged to have been brought to the bar from Tahiti in the early 50's or so. Some say it's a fertility god, some say it's some kind of death totem or something.

Does anyone have any idea of what this may be? Thanks.
