A Tiki I.D. shot in the dark .... - Collecting Tiki

The shop was busting at the seems with Koa carvings! I new NOTHING of Tiki when I bought them. I just knew I liked ethnic masks. Since being bitten by the Tiki tick 7 months ago, I've looked all over the net for masks which might resemble them ... but found nothing. Typically, you can spot an artists work if they put enough time into it. Anyone know who the artist might be or any other historical possibilities?
