About 1966 we went to a museum near Tulsa that was mainly Western art but among other things there were shrunken heads a lot of them looked like these. Also that 20th century Polynesian Type Tiki, #599 in the Christie's catalog, sure looks like it could be a Bumatay and he was from Hawaii. It would be interesting if that was a Bumatay - as far as the museum near Tulsa with shrunken heads - Woolaroc Museum in Bartlesville (about 45 miles north of Tulsa) has quite a few (this was the ranch/retreat of Frank Phillips, founder of Phillips Petroleum
