Featured ARE THESE CARVED BOOK ENDS HAWAIIAN? NATIVE AMERICAN?

I found these at a local thrift store today. They are hand carved I think - but have no markings except III in pencil on bottom of each.

What are they? They look like part of a totem pole to me.

Thanks, I appreciate any help.

 

Look like a pair of tiki book ends. Post World War II -- 1950s or 1960s -- when there was a tiki fad. Here's another pair.

I am curious about this too as I have a bell with a similar look.

 

Let's see it!

Yup...Tiki !!

 

That's it! Thanks Debora!

 

Tiki bookends model III?
To make sure the bookends of model II and III don't get mixed up and you end up with mismatched Tiki bookends? (Don't you hate it when that happens?)

 

This thread reminded me of the box of Coco Joe's Tikis and Menehunes I have somewhere.
Here's yours... https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-PO...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

 

I will try to see if I can do it later on.
