Can someone identify this style for me?

Can anyone tell me any info on this style of Tiki, I found it at a market in Sydney. It's just it appears to be Female and I originally thought Hawaiian but I'm not sure.

Hmm...that's an odd one! Kinda reminds me of an Indian wearing a head dress - I really wouldn't have any concrete idea of its origin but my guess would be Hawaiian - it looks like one of the mass produced carvings sold to tourists...

American Indian maybe.

this could be an Hawiian style tiki but carved some where like the Philipeans, at least that is my guess.

Looks to me like someone who does those machine-carved jobbies had too many requests for "girl" tikis, so they designed one with boobs.

My guess as well. Could even be carved in Hawaii but by a non-traditional for the tourist market type carver.

Ya, I'de say it's female.

I'm in on the vote that it's Hawaiian in general style, but done really badly, and not on any Polynesian island.

Phillipines?

Sure. Could be. As good a guess as any.
