Carved Wooden Tiki Chains

This carved wooden tiki chain was a recent gift. It is composed of 10 oval-shaped links (doubled) and carved figures at either end..a man and a woman. The figures are about 9 inches high including the hanging loop. The total length is about three feet. There are no markings indicating an origin. Someone suggested it might be a wedding chain from the Cook Islands...or maybe it is just a tourist item like large wooden spoons. Does anyone else have similar items or wooden chains? Any comments re origin? Thanks.


These guys look more like African carvings to me.

Thanks for the hint. You are correct. It is an African Ritual Wedding Chain.
