I picked up a staff last week, it's 5'10"...

The bird on top is missing the feathers on the back of it's head and wings (any ideas what they may have looked like?)

he's standing on a moai

who's on a Marquesian (?)

who's atop

standing on

and she's sitting on a PNG mask

all this is above this

So here are the questions, could this have been made by Oceanic Arts? What was WEW64?

A little about that estate sale it came from, Pete Lovely was a Volkswagen dealer who from the late '50's to the early '70's was a racer car driver, European GT, Sebring, LeMans and won the first Leguna Seca. So you may see why I find this interesting.
Was told the wings were off by '74 from a Xmas photo and an older relative(?) said the wife may have busted this over his head or vice versa and it didn't sound like he was kidding!
Any ideas?

aloha, tikicoma
