Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

The woman's deceased husband had collected various primitive wood carvings, but these were the only tikis she had with her. They were in their living room while they had them & she said her husband had thought they were from "The Easter Islands". So the seller didn't have a clue where they came from. They look like they were outside and mounted somewhere at some point. Any thoughts as to origin of the carving style, etc??, as I haven't seen anything quite like these before.
