Identify vintage Tiki Bar - Collecting Tiki

While I can't say that I blame you, I'd have to disagree that it's not Polynesian inspired. (Aside from the legs) The outside is a natural grass like fiber that has been carefully woven into pretty traditional Polynesian repeating shapes. The black and white on the inside reminds me of The Japanese Textiles. A play on the yin/yang symbol. With the correct accoutrements, this is absolutely passable in a Tiki Bar setting. Can anyone give me a universal definition of what makes something TIKI? Seems to be pretty subjective. And thanks for all the ....help?
