Tiki or african art?

Hello everyone!

Great community you have here!

I feel an affinity for pacific cultures, be it japanese gardens, polynesian art, haida gwai art and even west coast hippie art!

I bought this wooden shield several years ago because I recognized there was some real nice workmanship in it. I never was able to determine whether it was african art or polynesian art (no signature). I'd like to have your opinion on it:
