Actually the mug pictured above (Top of thread) was sold as
an Indian Totem mug in gift shops in the Northwest United States
and while it may be loosely based on a Hawaiian Ku originally
it was purposed out as an "Indian design also, & you will find
plenty of examples through out the internet & eBay

So I stand by my original opinion due to the paint & glaze finish on the
mug pictured.
