I've seen these masks in tiki places as well as Thai restaurants. In my admittedly limited research on authentic Pacific island masks I've not seen anything like them,
though I have seen them for sale as tiki masks. They kind of remind me of Big Daddy Roth does tiki.
Would one of our experts kindly chime in and enlighten us as to the origins of these things, if indeed they are not just decor thought up by restaurant outfitters. Be they tiki?...or no?

These are at Omni Hut.

This is at Aloha in Springfield, MO.

I asked this question before in another thread...thought I'd try again in this forum.
